I have yet to see a tree leap out into the road but have seen many many drivers go way too fast! Here in Australia we have the same daft mind set and true some trees are a danger in some areas but do we really want ALL the trees cut down? This is your blog and you say what ever you want to, damm any nosey poke who says something about 'political correctness' and whoever coined that particular phrase I would like to strangle! You still live ina lovely place and have a lovely view and many of us would love to sit and have a cup of tea with you. One day I hope to.

They are mad. I cannot bear all these ghastly out of town shopping developments which now surround almost every French town and which you have to fight your way through to reach 'centre ville'. It all began with Carrefour...<br>And the trees, the trees. All my childhood memories of France are defined by those endlessly straight tree-lined roads. I believe they are being cut down partly because they induce epileptic fits when the sun shines. Funny how the entire country and all its visitors have survived for centuries without this being a worry until this Health and Safety obsessed world took hold. Ah yes, the N roads of France are being systematically destroyed, stripped of all their character. Roundabouts is another of their more recent obsessions. 20 years ago the French didn't know what a roundabout was (and they still don't know how to negotiate one which makes them more lethal than the overhead traffic lights they seem to have replaced). Tis very sad. The thought of those plane trees makes me weep.HER ON THE HILLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11429666157453439321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257001575767428587.post-32880364690930104322009-02-09T17:46:00.000+01:002009-02-09T17:46:00.000+01:00good blog there sally, agree with everything you h...good blog there sally, agree with everything you have written, has the whole world gone mad? the french being politically correct felling trees that 'might' cause a danger to health if driven into at high speed?<br>Now, corrupt government officials that sounds a bit close to home, don't even get me started on banks, spit & splutter.......muddybootshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01117980616235810426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257001575767428587.post-81916938397619500392009-02-09T17:01:00.001+01:002009-02-09T17:01:00.001+01:00Not your typical Sally post, but as usual somethin...Not your typical Sally post, but as usual something to think about.
