    Hello Claude and welcome to the best forum in the land downunder and I am being fairdinkum.

    A countryman of yours "Benoit Averly" is one of my favourite turners. Are you aware of his work?

    I agree that your English is good so no need to apologise about it in future.

    Default welcome claude

    Hi Claude,
    Welcome to the forum. I have wonderful memories of spending 5 days in Strasbourg over Christmas 2001. Nothing like a white christmas. Doesn't happen down here, usually about 30 degrees plus (in the shade)
    A beautiful place you live in there. Great food and wine.
    Cheers and welcome again
    Frank

    I am guessing you may need to translate one of these.

    I've been to Strasbourg a couple of times and quite like it there, mainly for the choucroute, tarte flambé and vins d'alsace...
