France has meant quite a bit to me with regards to the World Cup.
I took part in the ‘Bristol-Bordeaux Schools Exchange’ in 1982, the year the competition was held in Spain.
This involved me spending three weeks with a French family, living with them after being paired off with their son for the exchange, the French lad then came to stay with us for three weeks later in the year.
So there I was, the longest time I had ever spent away from home, I was fourteen.
Argentina invaded the Falklands when I was away and although it was on the news every day, I didn’t really know what was happening until I returned from my trip.
It was thanks to taking part in the exchange that really my best subject and exam grade on leaving Secondary Education was in fact French.
I could understand conversational French I thought quite well and could speak it pretty good also.
When the tournament started in Spain on the 13 June, I had already been to France and was looking forward to my new French mate coming over.
England’s first game in the group stages was against France, we had mocked each other since the game had been announced and I of course looked forward to beating La France.
Now the day of the match, I received my first ever detention from our ‘Technical Drawing’ Teacher Mr Brown. Detention were quite rare at our school because for most misdemeanours, pupils received the cane which was the norm in those days.
I missed kick off because of this injustice but luckily lived quite close to School (Whitefield Boys in Greenbank) so legged it home when we were released to watch England win 3-1 with a record opening goal from Bryan Robson after only 27 seconds.
I rang my penpal Frederick to gloat afterwards and that match is one of the reasons I still like to see France do well in the World Cup to this day.
Also worth mentioning regarding France from the group stages of 1982 is farcical incident during the game between Kuwait and France. France were leading 3–1, France midfielder Alain Giresse scored a goal contested by the Kuwait team, who had stopped play after hearing a whistle from the stands, as the French player was in a suspicious, arguably offside position, which they thought had come from Soviet referee Miroslav Stupar. Play had not yet resumed when Sheikh Fahid Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, brother of the Kuwaiti Emir and president of the Kuwaiti Football Association, rushed onto the pitch to give the referee a piece of his mind. The visibly shaken Stupar changed his initial decision and disallowed the goal to the understandable fury of the French. Maxime Bossis scored another valid goal a few minutes later and France won 4–1. Stupar lost his international refereeing credentials due to this incident, and Al-Sabah received a $10,000 fine.
France also of course went on to host the tournament in 1998 where they beat Brazil in the final 3-0.
My mother had these for years. I don't eat eggs (I don't like them) but my mom and dad liked to eat soft-boiled eggs in these cups.
Another cup in progress. This one is made from applewood. I love the look of the 'flame' in the grain.
Not only did my 93 year old neighbor give me pomegranates, she also gave me one of her pretty cups and saucers. I told her I would take a photo, make a card, and send it to her. Thanks Kim for your new 'labeled up', as well as 'just white' and 'black & white' textures.
Murmur 2017 Fagaras, Romania.
Hammocks, Shalvari and lots of good weather. Not to mention good music. (Satelites at the mainstage and DNU at silent dance were most memorable for anyone interested.)
I love this red cup there, thats where the name is coming from.

ODC = Steep
Well seeing as how I live at elevation16' above sea level the steepest thing around here is a overpass bridge on the freeway so tea steeping in my favorite mug will have to do. I got this mug as a birthday present from a dear friend when I turned 40, that was 20 years ago now...wow now there's one of those old age moments. My husband tells me I am still cute:)
