SX23 last year, now XS24 this year? FFS what the UKFC-ing F U.K. is going on here??

Glad you asked (although I can’t abide the use of anagrams to simulate bad language), it’s that special time of year and, for a third year running, we are headed overseas for Christmas!

Thankfully, for us and the readers, the train from Colmar to Luxembourg went smoothly.  However, it was a … Continue reading C’est la V
