Thanks - I'll take a look as it comes so highly recommended!  I've heard of them, I think my in-laws use them for all their 'healthy medicine' deliveries in the UK!

Little ones for me please!  The smaller the better as I'm not good with tablets.

Is it available in France, where from and what is it called? Thanks

Thanks Chrissie for your reply.  Our thoughts are pretty much the same as yours.  We just need to make sure we do the 'done thing'! We have been invited to 'partager leur joie au cours de la messe' and 'à un vin d'honneur' in a local hall, so pretty much as you say. We shall go along and hovver quietly at the back!  So, when we've chosen a suitable present, at what point do we give it to somebody?

A man from our road, who we have never met (other than the courteous bonjour on passing) called by today and handed us a wedding invitation to his daughters wedding - both mass and 'reception'. Is this a normal gesture in France, is it the done thing to attend and what on earth does one do about wedding presents?! Any advice would be appreciated as we do not want to offend by not doing the right thing.  We would obviously be delighted to attend for the experience. Thanks
