I think I'd dash through a hurricane for that meal.

I wish you could send us some of your rain, Scott. All across southern British Columbia the forecast is for record-breaking temperatures for the next week or so and no moisture at all. Here in Nelson we are looking at five days in a row over 100—that's never happened before. This morning we got out on our bikes early for a short ride, and it was already too hot at 8:30. So enjoy your cooler temps and even the rain.
Looks like a gorgeous meal at Rustica!
Hi,
I remember the hoops we had to jump through to get long stay visas for France and I decided to check with some more “recent” arrivals to see if they were still the same. From what I can gather, they are. If you really want to do it (and who wouldn’t?) then it would be a good idea to get started on the process now. At a minimum you will need to find health insurance and be able to provide proof of having it (in French) before you come as well as proof of COVID vaccination (might be able to use an English language document, but check). You will also need proof of financial resources and an address in France for your stay, although this last probably can be finessed to account for your proposed travels. You need to know that any long term visa is only good for the issuing country. Otherwise regular Schengen rules apply (90 days in any 180 day period). Hopefully the paperwork has been reduced. When we came in 2001 we needed eight copies, filled in by hand, no errors, no photocopies!
This could change, of course, but I’d not tarry getting started. Bureaucracy is a French word, after all!
Bonne chance!
Cheers,
Keith

Also known as staunchweed due to its ability to stop bleeding. Wild is white. We have pink in our garden. I have also seen yellow. I like to pinch a bit of leaf and sniff.

Oh, thank you! I’ve been misinterpreting it. Humidity.
