  1. Has anyone got spare tractor attachments which would fit my MF35. I'm looking for a cultivator, a small plough, a barre de coupe, a pasture topper and a back digging arm. Any condition will do as I am able to repair.
  2. We run a Villager woodburner but needed a smaller one for our dining room which we got at the local Emmaus for 40 Euros, looked tatty but cleaned up a treat.
  3. Friends of ours, Angela and Jimmy have 3 children in school over here. They arrived last March and noiw live here permanently. We are going to lunch with them next saturday and if you would like me to I will ask if you could ring or email them as they have direct 'hands on' experience particularly with our local schools.
  4. Our favourite cut in England was shin of beef, something which nobody else bothered to buy and we treat most French beef the same way ie. use our trusty pressure cooker. Usually longer than the instructions say. 45 minutes gives meat so tender and tasty that it falls to pieces so about 40 minutes makes for a superb meat pie. Our most popular meals with our return guests are our oxtail stew and neck of lamb stew (Lancashire hotpot?). It also comes out for globe artichokes, 18 minutes well cooked, spare ribs before roasting and for making all sorts of excellent soups. We actually have three pressure cookers just in case one breaks down. Give one a try.
  5. Have a look at our website. www.leschenauds.com. Most of our B&B guests have found property locally and we try our best to help.
  6. Best wishes and hope it goes OK. I know what you mean about service. My wife has diabetes and the French medical service is superb eg. 9-30 Monday see Doctor and he says she needs a blood test. he phones and she has appointment at local hospital for 10-30 she arrives at hospital gets given a cup of coffee and sees heamatologist. 9am Tuesday morning phone call from Doctor everything within parameters. In the UK this took 3+weeks with interminable waiting at the hospital. As she succinctly put it in England you get better treatment at the vets than any health service provider.
