Just fell out of Mme Fly’s Costa Rica/French Leave blogs and landed smack...

  • Keith Eckstein: Emma Thanks for the comment – following detailed and in-depth discussions with the government (the soon to be ex-government) I have been persuaded to cease updating garlic (apparently it gives the world the wrong impression of France – people are beginning to think of it as a country...

Good luck with your new advetures and contining existing ventures with more...
  • Perry Taylor: Dear Keith, shows how long ago it is since I last had a taste of garlic. I’m so sorry to hear about your father.

  • Jilly Bennett: Keith, I’m so sorry to read of your father’s passing and how badly it has affected you. You are obviously at a crossroads in your life and need to prioritize.

  • 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.
