  • Janet: Keith your wonderful website and blog listings have been for me a window on a fabulous world of fellow francophiles and you will be missed. I know what it is like to mourn a father so you have my sympathy. It does get easier eventually but never as fast as we would like it to.

  • Stephanie: Wishing you health and happiness as soon as possible. Thanks to your site I’ve discovered some wonderful blogs and it was great fun to win a few of your awards and not-awards. Blogging in and about France will go on without you, but it won’t ever be quite the same.
  • jean: Hi Keith, I will really miss you. Your blog was the highlight of my week, blogwise, and it has opened up a whole new world to me.

  • Vanessa: Family, health and well-being have got to come before blogging and I’m sorry to hear about the difficult time you are going through.
