Hellos & G'byes

Well, we ended the first third of our summer at Fred and Caroline's, making, cutting and eating delicious tarte flambées (baked in the beautiful outdoor oven that Fred made by hand with heart) and drinking various concoctions. Another happy time with people we love...


And now! We're about to head off for (the second third of) a summer in the happiness, heat and humidity of ye aulde homestead. We are so looking forward to this...!

p.s. Advanced apologies for the correspondence that will have to be put on hold until the end of summer. I'm sure it (this correspondence problem, I mean) can only get better in the coming school year. Can't it?

My own critique can be found here in both French and English.

In any case, I have rarely been so moved - I'd go so far as to say devastated - by a film, animation or otherwise. If it comes to a theatre near you, you know where I suggest you spend your next cinematic hour and a half, eh?
