"Anne in Oxfordshire wins a Special Award for Posts about Paris from Someone who doesn’t live in Paris.

Anne often pops over here and always writes lovely blog posts about it.

Her Images from Paris… shows that she’s got a good eye for a photo and certainly enjoys her visits over here."

"The Rant of the Week Award goes to Sam at Totally Frenched Out for Today’s French word: S’imposer.

Sam, I promise you, if you go into work with an AK47 in your hands and a thousand yard stare on your face, you’ll get Rant of the Month Award and I’ll personally put you forward for theRant of the Year Award."

Quoted directly from Keith's blog...

Keith your sense of humor keeps me slappin' my sides!!! Tooo funny! I'll be back one day, I'm sure and then you'll probably tire of my posts of Paris.. esp. in the springtime when everything is it's prettiest...

And now, here's what Keith had to say about me-- HILARIOUS!!!!!!

"And just for the people who didn’t win an award this week….

Here are the famous Awards for not Winning an Award!

Leesa from News from France – I understand that she has a poorly big toe but….

That’s no excuse for missing Netball Practice!

Sorry Leesa but I find it hard to feel sorry for you when you’re in Costa Rica (in the sunshine) and we’re stuck in freezing Brittany, burning our furniture in a vain effort to keep warm – 2/10 and you’re excused ballet class for a week!

Oh, by the way, Leesa… The examiners will look favourably on you should you decide to come back to France and start blogging about Paris things – they like that sort of stuff (so I’m told.)" End quote.

OKAY Keith --- You're ON!! When I come back- whenever that may be.. .mind you, I'm going post happy on my NFF blog and you'll be the FIRST one to know of it...

I'll be cashing in my REAL award then- (whenever that is)... hahahahahah!!

Best to you.. Leesa

Here's Keith and his price mushroom- he found it during our walk though the woods.
