I was staying in an hotel in Northern France (which we had stayed at
a few times before) one winter for a short break with my husband and
I was feeling so ill with a cold that I told him to go down to the
bar and have a drink and that I would get myself ready slowly. I was
shivering with a temperature so I decided to take a hot bath. As I
laid back in the bath, the bedroom door opened, in walked Edward, and
one step behind him the owner of the hotel. with a large medicinal
Cognac (which I hate) in his hand - My husband and he stood in the
doorway to the bathroom, whilst I slipped under the water and with
just my head peeking out, I said "Oh Thank you but I feel quite ill
so could you both go away please". The hotel owner advanced a step
instead of retreating and as only my eyes were visable by then - he
held out the cognac and out snaked my hand from under the water, took
the cognanc, downed it in one go and gave him back the glass. I did
not make it to dinner that night.

Oh, Judith - tears of laughter again and not even one gold slipper in
sight!

I reckon the EDP should sign her up to write a column!

EDP? But whoever that is, I agree. Judith has a gift for a phrase which is
pure joy!



I guess = Eastern Daily Press. And I agree about Judith's stories! What I
cannot imagine is what she had to say to her husband after the cognac-bearing
manager had left the room!
