Laura Hi, my name is Laura and I'm British and felt moved to comment on your fantastic blog! I've been visiting Loches since I was 13 (I'm 36 now!) we have many dear friends in Loches and it gives me immense pleasure that I can take my boys (6yrs and 18 months) and my husband to visit our French friends who've known me since I was a child! I think what you have chosen to do and the life experiences you have given your kids is amazing! The one and only criticism I would have is that I've lived in Venice for three months whilst I was at university and 24 hours is just not enough!!! I hope that you have the opportunity to return to Loches and my family and I feel very lucky that we can continue to visit a beautiful town that we consider to be our second home. Best wishes Laura

re: New FoodWendy Remember when you tried to use the word jip in scrabble? And you said "you know like a jip off." Funny
re: New FoodArch What a jip off-just two olives. But still beter than the 4 cheese pizza we got that came out with Brie, Roquefort, etc. That was truly gross.
