Thank you, Cheshire Cat and Feisty. Welcome to New England where the four seasons are gorgeous although come mid-winter, when in my mind it seems more like a frozen hell-hole, I wonder why my islander grandfather ever settled here. Then with the first signs of spring, I forget the drudgeries of winter. It's almost like giving birth.

Filitsa,
Exclusively Oracle would never reveal the answer to such a question

The pictures are truly stunning. I can almost smell that cool water from here!

It's okay, Bucksboy; I think I know the answer. :wink:

And "cool" it is! I'm fortunate to be within an hour's drive to mountains, lakes, the ocean, and Boston. To the naked eye, they're as breath-taking as they are in the photos.

Gorgeous place you have there CC, you must be really proud.
What stunning views too.

If we ever do indeed 'stroll' your way..........................

what you don't see in the photos is the mimes on every street corner. and they are there. :wink:

I cordially welcome you, Cheshire Cat.

The photos you posted of your place in France aren't to shabby themselves!

Thank you BOF !!!

Do you know, I never looked at it like that, my forum name comes from where I was born and raised, but yes I do smile a lot these days.

I left Cyprus because of health reasons amongst others, my doctor said I was a stroke waiting to happen, my blood pressure was so high. I still have to take medication to control my blood pressure but with the help of a good doctor over here my blood pressure is now a perfect 120/80 from being 180/150 or something like that.

Our house is called Ambre lys, or golden lily in English, we chose the name because when the sun shines on it the stones of which it is built appear to have a golden glow.

The SW of France , ( Gers region) is a place that sidestepped the stresses of modern life, old fashioned manners are still used here. And everyone smiles at you.

I could highly recommend a break here as an antidote from the stresses of modern life.
The food is good, the wine is superb, the people are charming.
