I have been shrieking with laughter.

'THE YEAR BEGAN...' ( Peter Mayle ) and ended 'with lunch' in fact the whole experience seemed more like eating than reading a book. 'Faustin shrugged with disbelief, shoulders and eyebrows going up in unison as he contemplated the extraordinary idea ...' ( Peter Mayle )

The book reminded me of the year I inhabited an apartement under the eves, in Canet en Roussillon.

I am currently reading about the Norman Conquest of England.

'It would have taken in the region of five days for news of the landing to reach York, a distance of close on 250 miles from Hastings.' N.B.The manuscript I sent first class post last Monday morning to London from Suffolk, had not arrived on Thursday.
