Heeelp!
Savoyard people are a bit crusty on the outside. Not overtly friendly until you have reason to talk to them individually. I have found them very helpful and nice when you get past the initial barrier though.
So we have been a little sluggish getting to know our immediate french neighbours.
I didn't invite them over in the beginning...being an attrative young woman living manless and all! I felt I didn't want to advertise my vunerability. I KNOW small villages....they always have the local weirdo. When hubby came on his trips he wasn't up for entertaining.
So here we are, all settled in, en famille, Christmas is approaching....ideal oppourtunity.
So as per usual I decide to go in baldy headed....hubby as per usual trying to apply the brakes, being shyer and not very confident of his french. So I have more or less bullied him into agreeing to hosting a party next Sunday. 5 o clock kick off to facilitate the kids. Hopefully early enough to bed. I just wrote up the invites and posted them in the letter boxes...so the dye is cast...aaargh.
