We are off to do our first grocery shop at Waitrose, and I always love getting all the stuff I can't get back in France- good strong cheddar, good wheat bread, scotch eggs, etc. Sad, I know....<BR/>But the Duke is bringing up some stuff from France too, like foie gras, good garlic, olive oil, wine and champagne!The Duchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973296361399409747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35687974.post-54371828690065616622008-12-20T00:23:00.000+01:002008-12-20T00:23:00.000+01:00Nah, we say "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Christmas...Nah, we say "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Christmas" coz we's is flexible...<BR/>And you're so lucky, Duchess, to be spending Christmas in the UK as it feels so much more Christmassy than here in France...
