COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

The weather in Normandy was rainy but the restaurants and company more than made up for it



A friend of mine asked what we should have. I made the error of saying it all looked so good.

“Fantastique”


After too much wine and a local apple cordial, they wanted me to take their picture trying on my hat.



I could have sold that hat five times
Good fun !

      Never sell the hat. For shame on you even thinking of it.
