Imogen was hopeless as a member of our book/gourmet dining/art and literature travel club. Who else would ever try to argue that a pork stew fitted with the dietary requirements of our Jewish member? No matter the butchery method, I … Continue reading

An encounter with a narcissist robot (Rousse)
I was an unexpected, and unwelcome, guest at the house of a woman who was in my year at school. We barely knew one another. I had simply spoken to EC, a retired accountant, at a couple of reunions in … Continue reading

Jewish highland flatbed lorry tradition (Rousse)

Babysitter force-feeds chocolate to foreign child in her care (Rousse)
