Thanks, Sally. Your mention of the weekly firing of the village oven is interesting. In the Alsace region of France, there's a dish called, I think, Bakehoff--layers of meat and potatoes that, in days gone by, women would take to the village baker to be put in the still hot ovens after the bread had been made.

Re the accordion--I think it was from a whole sheep. Quite funny, really.

At 68, I started a new chapter in my life: I moved to France. Alone. It turned out to be quite the page-turner. Still is — even when age insists on a part.
