Last weekend we met up with J-M’s parents in town. We met up on the port and managed to find a table for 4 at a café, despite the Easter weekend tourists. If you’ve never seen someone before, do they turn out like you expect them to? Well J-M’s parents were completely different to what I expected; they looked much younger!
Fortunately we all got along well. J-M’s father collects vintage postcards of the region where he was born and his mother is interested in history, so we all had plenty to talk about – after we’d discussed our wonderful children of course.
Olivier was home for the weekend too - plus washing. The weather was reasonably kind to me and I only needed to iron 4 shirts. He does some of his washing at university. He will probably be home by the end of May. If all goes well he will have his diploma in economics.
I found the time and inspiration to add a new short story to my Still Learning blog, if you’d like to read it.

Hi Anji,

Was it too early in the relationship to sell him some cards?
Meetings like this must be a bit strange, thankfully will never have to do it...
Judy: Thank you. We were pleased it went well. I now have to compose an email in French to say how much we enjoyed meeting them.
Caroline: I think he has bought cards from us in the past and we have given him some via J-M.
It was almost as stressful as meeting J-M for the first time. They are very nice people
