[Welsh Winters...]

Tiens! Bonjour

Tout Le Monde,

I have decided I do not want to experience another Welsh

Winter...

largely because I'm not sure I could survive it.

So, I'm going to move to France...if they will let me in.

My "shopping List" is:-

i) Must be warm - I want to re-experience a lovely still,

warm, fragrant, evening.

I would prefer Not to ever again, see Hydrogen Oxide

crystals on roads...or even a blade of grass.

But...I'm willing to negotiate.

ii) I would like to be able to walk, to see the Sea - any

Sea.

In my advanced state of age, and rigour mortis, that means a

matter if inches rather than kilometres.

Since I have never managed to learn to drive appropriately,

and safely

on The Left, I find it inconceivable that I will ever be

able to learn to drive on The Right.

It would be dangerous to other road-users.

iii) I would like a garden. Being an old Radnorshire guy

(S'Ok, nobody's ever heard of it), I would ideally like a small field. But only

one.

iv) Internet Access is essential.

Without Spam, how will I know I'm not on my own in the

Universe?

 

That's it really.

Quand j'etais

etudiant, on m'est oblige de travailler une vaccance a C.E.R.N., a Grenoble.

I liked it very much there, but I didn't like being so close

to high energy neutrons...

So I gave up Nuclear Physics and chose something more likely

to give me a decent life-span.

I chose Music. ( Yes! That was one of many serious blunders

to follow later...hmm...)

I've cashed in my life and realised a sum of...erm...cash!

I do not need benefits or work permit etc.

I speak French tolerably well, but effrayant.

I'm confident it will get better with "exposure"

...but Not to anymore radiation - if that's Ok with you?

I think it wise, at first, to rent a home and see how I get

on.

(Why are you laughing?).

Probably a good idea to "be there" and look around

from there.

Do they have Morriston's in France - or something vaguely,

remotely similar?

Should anyone feel fool-hardy, or kindly, enough to share

your thoughts with me...and reply, I would be very grateful to hear from you.

Avec mes

sentiments, les plus sinceres,

Vesalius.
