Ok we're back and stonkered. Our new mayor and council are fab!

On a personal note, I'm still trying to work out if one should kiss  first on the left or the right. I tried both tonight and also waited to see which side the French went for first and it seems there is no consensus! No matter, because once you get past the 'Bonjour, comment tu va?' stage it's all great. No-one listens to your answer anyway. So there you go. Goodnight
