[QUOTE="Malika, post: 442124, member: 11227"] Thanks for the good advice, Mattsmom! Unfortunately, although my French is fluent, I don't think it quite runs to having that phrase run off the tip of my tongue :) Yes, I think I have myself "bought into" the idea that we are not really part of the village and have not really taken active steps to integrate. Actually, my next neighbour is a really sweet old lady of 80 or so who has always been very welcoming and civil to us (her daughter-in-law is an assistant at J's school - everything is intertwined like that here :) ) and I would very happily take her some homebaked things except that, to my shame, I do very little baking... Maybe you have inspired me! I like your comment that the best "revenge" is living well... [/QUOTE]
