We had just been to the music school, & on the way home saw that the new citroen garage (pronounced cit tro en! ok) was celebrating it's opening
Drinks were flowing, balloons all over the place, they do things well here!
One of Gwilym's school mates was there,
"Cest notre garage" he said, ie: his family own the garage
"oh", says I " donnez nous une ballon, nous sommes une citron"
Citron = lemon (or the English pronounciation for citroen! The 'e' has two ¨ over the top, so you pronounce the "e" We Brits usually pronounce it wrong!)
I was obviously having an English moment!! but it made the kids laugh & Gwilym' s mate gave me a very funny look!!!!
