The Two of Us

Why 'The Two of Us'?

You may well ask....

My grandmother, Claire Molyneux Macdonald, had an intriguing middle name for me to get my tongue around as a child.

'Oh, I heard that a long time ago the Molyneux had to leave France in a hurry...French Revolution...they must have been wealthy.'

'Hmm, I seem to remember hearing that they were weavers, tapestry makers living south of Paris somewhere.'

In High school I chose to learn French as a foreign language.

Here began an introduction to another world. A world of strange sounds, frogs legs, snails and an Eiffel Tower.

And a teacher who played the theme music from 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'...almost every lesson.

A special day. The French teacher brought tins of frogs legs and snails to school. I ate my first French meal!

Little did I know....one day a most handsome, charming and black-haired Frenchman would take me to live in Paris.
