French she spoke full fair and fetisly

Lunch today with a French Green MEP. My French is not good. Her English is worse. Luckily her Italian adviser speaks both fluently. I reflected that I would like to blame my French teacher when I was in third form, who was too much of a political activist to really take to teaching, but unfortunately the record shows that I learnt French for another two years after she left the school.

Coming out of the restaurant I bumped into her, as she was elected to the European Parliament herself last June. She didn’t remember me but I gave her my card. Bygones should be bygones.
