Another wonderful post - thanks, Stella!

Loved this: "“When there’s no napkin in the restaurant, just slowly wipe your mouth with French bread." BRILLIANT! I can't be without a napkin - I travel with a stash of cotton ones. I remember as an au pair decades ago being absolutely horrified when the grandmother of the family used a corner of the TABLECLOTH as such.....!

A great read. 😊

Thank you, Rebecca! Lisa F. is the sage we all need. That’s why Allyson and I are so grateful to Gorm. Lisa made our stay in Senegal fun. Oh, grandma 😮! I’ll definitely use the French bread when I get to her age.
