| Introduction | After having visited the Pays Basque (the part of the Basque country that lies in France) every year for years, Madame Pipérade and I finally moved here in September 2007. Moving here was one of our better decisions - living in the Pays Basque suits us both down to the ground. Thanks for stopping by - and I hope you enjoy the blog. PS. The Compleat Anglo..? In case you're wondering - yes, I can spell - it's simply a pun on the title of Izaak Walton's classic "The Compleat Angler" - but you knew that didn't you! |

| Favorite Movies | Casablanca, Manhattan, Young Frankenstein, When Harry met Sally, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Out of Africa, The King's Speech and many many more. |
