Apero

Third Thursday of November. Our village goes all out for the celebreations of the new vin. One of the many, many, reasons we have a maison secondaire in this region, I have limited time at our French home, and visit when work allows, my wife is here for many months, we have great friends who help her, and when BN arrives I also arrive,  my beautiful wife experiences more than I; therefore what domaine is your preferance?

Men who have bought, or our lovely ladies who want; a gift from Louis Vuitton. I have a slight problem which I hope you will be able to help; and I am working away, and would like to send a gift to my daughter, who has recently moved with her fiance into their first home. Having tried and failed on their site, what am I doing wrong? I confess that it is always, my lovely wife who sees to this, however, I want to send this special gift from me, as I am away for many months of the year, in Brazil tonight, and know; my daughter will love and appreciate my goofieness. We have a home in France, which we have used to receive parcels from Louis Vuitton, however, I am having problems sending a gift to the UK. Anyone out here help; a bewildered father, make his daughter, a very happy one who knows her 'dad' truly loves her?    

[8-|] Well done montagrier, you seem to have got certain members hot under the collar.  You have found a legal technique of working; to suit you and your colleagues. Admiration to you for your forethought. I would dearly like to work as you do, and have satisfaction in that you achieve; by your hands on work, however, my skills are not what you require or I would pm.[geek] Wish you all success in your enterprise.

Gotta be for me on my; first date with my girl was 'blazing saddles' best available that faitful day, last film together 'devil wears prada'. Inbetween, all you have mentioned, what about, forrest grump amazing acting, piano man, the last emperor, alfie + many many more. Next topic, 'what concert' perhaps!

Seems a bit much per corde, we pay €120 for seasoned oak + a bottle of whiskey shared. However, they make sneak some when your out.[Www] I prefer a full price for all services when I rent off peak season. Seems penny pinching to count heaped wheelbarrows; whether they are large or small heaped wheelbarrows. Or perhaps, if you want wood for the fire say it'll cost x amount on top.

Every time you fly your passport is scanned and every time you sail your 'number plate' is scanned. One small word 'tax' vast implications. Live up to your name, you'll sleep better at night.

My kinda guy, imaginative-resourseful and inventive. Tell him to patent it;  before some congo swings it.

Pidgeons est seulement bon pour leur viande de sein a cuisiné légèrement avec un petit beurre et un petits oignons ensemble avec les champignons, ou peut être fait avec les oeufs comme une omelette. Is my preferred choice Partridge is-l'ensemble cuisiné dans le four ou sur une casserole avec les légumes saisonniers est superbe.  Apprécier votre repas.

[quote user="GEORGE"] We are now wondering whether having our own website would widen our market & increase business for the following year. [/quote] Without a boubt. George not all marketing costs £££ you obviously are doing ok thus far, but could do better, excuse me please, your own w-site will be the deal breaker for potential guests- who can view your property therein with delightful  unlimited photographs and text off your choosing; which highlights your rental above others in the surrounding area. It is your oppourtunity to sell them the holiday of their dreams for the cost off a personal w-site. You get the enquiries from your listings and you + your w-site will convert enquiries into bookings.   Best of luck with it.                              

We are keen cyclists and usually take our own, on one occasion we rented what seemed like a 1st class establishment as we would be continuing our holiday from Italy; specified that they had ample bikes to suit all ages, after confirming that they indeed could supply cycles to our requirements we booked. We did not take ours on that particular trip, however, the cycles we were expected to ride were a danger to us and anyone on the road. Brakes were inop as was the tyres, only flat at the bottom.... When we questioned the owner the reply was- oh dear must have been the previous guests that had a flat and didn't inform us. I doubt if they could be sold at the flee market in Paris for a profit. So there we were, no cycles with crying children, thankfully there was a hire place nearby.  My experience as a paying guest is that if one states that they have cycles they must be checked at each turnover for defects and should be roadworthy.

[/quote] Barry we have both been very busy, some time has passed since my last post, have you any thoughts for my wife's fragrance? A special anniversary is near and would love that she be happy, could you-would you, make me a fragrance similar to her favourtie. I am in Paris presently. PM if you wish we may discuss further, when time permits. I have pm you now.

Italians are famous for "bridery" 1938 ring any bells, and him who fell like a plank, and this comment by  Roberto Calderoli,  After the Azzuri victory, he gave his felicitations for a victory Of the Italian identity, a team with Lombards, Napolitans, Venitians, ans Calabreses, in face of a french team who " sacrified his own identity ", in choosing ... Blacks, " Islamists " and " Communists " Nice guy, NOT  

[:D][:D][:D] I agree with you!

Recommend www.godaddy.com     .eu is the next big thing,  many eu companies are buying up,  also buy a domain that searchers may spell wrong, as said previously above, and point it to yours.

[/quote]   Hi Barry, From a cloudy Paris, would you or could you take a commision for me?  I would love my wife to have a personal scent, which was akin to Casmir by Chopard. I truly miss her and doing this little sentiment for her would show her how much I care for her. If you prefer to pm me respond and I will send my e-mail address. This is not the place to be alone, non..

Hastobe, not your real name? i would recognize you also, it has an instantly recognizable aroma which makes me smile. My wife sprays some on my shirts when I go away on business. I have bought some today at Sephora on the Champs Elysees for her. I have also found it in La Rochelle if you are closeby. Sweet dreams off now; home tomorrow.   Barry; exactement ma femme.

Kimberley I have posted requesting the same information, tried to google today, limited time due to business commitments, and now I am totally confused, can you not post references now? It would be in the best interest of pool owners to receive this information on open forum, in as much as; no interested parties miss out, non?    

Barry thank you for the link, it will come in very handy. My wife has been wearing casmir for years now and has become her signature perfume, you always know when she is in a room. I will point out your forum to her, though my wallet may take a big hit if I do. Regards

Not a favourite small perfumer, however, my wife has a favourite fragrance, casmir by chophard. Which I have trouble finding her. Usually purchase a bottle at Sephora in Paris whilst on business. Which reminds me......... Why is it so hard to find?

Thanks Nicola for the prompt reply, will have a look on the web. Our pool is in now, due to the design a roller cover like you mention is way to pricy so we have installed a security fence, not sure I like it, perhaps it will grow on me. Apero 

Interested to hear MrMDW that automatic sanitisation is working well. You obviously recommend it, what type? did you purchase in France? Going to remove the winter cover and open our pool for the new season next week, wonder what state the water will be in. Considering getting similar, getting a tad fed up with testing and adjusting the chemicals. Regards
