Follow les folles aventures de Mogette la 2CV coquette for interesting insights into everyday life en France Rurale and au-delà. Hidden agendas, bad poetry, intrigues politiques, and plenty of Proustian proûts from Mogette's raspberry exhaust échappement...

To Bio, Or Not To Bio?
Mogette paused for a rest today
Between the yellow, green and grey...
Click on pic to find out for sure
Why now we see "le colza"
More and more...
Petrol tank, ou assiette?
Which one for you, our dear Mogette?
Follow the photo link, and enjoy a Deux-Chevaux...
Intro
To the growing use of carburants "bio"...
Mogette a dit:
un million de tonnes, et demi
En France, la production annuelle
Pour la cuisine ou le diesel
I use petrol, cher ami,
So this colza stuff
N'est pas for me.
Mogette, merci
Pour l'expertise
Et pour la crappy
Poésie.

Mogette et Le Vin du Philosophe
Mogette went north the other day
And visited "Le Muscadet"...
She found Michel, who likes "La Philo"
And who makes organic wine, called "Bio"...
If you would like to find out more about philosophe/vigneron Michel's unique approach to organic winemaking, about his grandfather, his father, and about the family's hundred years of experience in the Muscadet region, Mogette suggests you take a trip to his website here:

Poésie Panoramique
Today, Mogette's friend Hamza visited for lunch.
Marcel d'Oggerel could not resist a panoramic pic and a poetic prezzie...
Soleil de janvier
A un kilomètre de Chantonnay
Lumière d'un matin d'hiver
Un ami et une vue panoramique...
Tout près du Lycée Clemenceau
Hamza parle français, italien, English, too
Avec un petit accent de Liverpool
Merseybeat et bonne humeur
Zeste et sourire de rigueur
Avec une bonne baguette sous le bras...
Merci, Marcel. Keep working on that rhyming and meter stuff. Ed.

The Essence of Renaissance?
Today Mogette received a mail, type "E"
From friends of hers en Australie...
To Ralph and Mike and Tom
And John and Shayne and Don
To the sixty other members of their re-born "Club des down-under Citro-Ens"
Mogette would like to send her dodgy doggerel salutations: "G'day Ol' friends".
Merci beaucoup Marcel D'Oggerel, resident poet. Now click on the "Half-way to Sydney 1993" photo to visit the ACE Car Club of Western Australia.
Amour Toujours
A sunny Sunday au mois d'août
Mogette and a summertime photo-shoot
One "clic", voilà, it's done
Un tour à la plage?
Recherchons some Sun and Fun
Two cylinders, la mer est calme
One homme et une femme
Une Miss, un Mister...
Juste de quoi se distraire
Oh là là...
Un bow-tie s'en va...
Retour en nineteen eighty-four...
Souvenir de l'amour, toujours.
(Merci Marcel D'Oggerel. Now click on the pic for forty seconds of 2CV gold, courtesy of Jacques Seguéla's advertising agency in 1984...)
