Julie (moi) was a damsel in distress:- She had been earning some gems by helping Thea in her garden, but at the end of the day when it came to washing the mud off her clothes - her old washing machine packed in. John Lewis were happy to sell her a new one, but Simon the plumber came to the rescue and plumbed it in (and thanks to a telephone number off Karina J). Now she is smelling fragrant again her boyfriend is taking her to Lille for a weekend. In preparation she is now undertaking French conversation with Anne in order to make the most of the voyage.

He He!
