Thank you so so much!! Chevrier vert is just perfect ) I can't
beleive I just wouldn't find something closer to home. They even got
the Monstrueux de Carentan - a huge leek which I remember as a kid,
just called Monstrueux because I thought they were ugly and they were
as big as I was, and it's even organic!

This has made my day considering I'm at home again today waiting for
yet another gang of chaps to look at our drains with camera and noisy
machinery .... ((
