Maybe melon would be okay.<br /><br />We find Scotland to be very dog friendly, especially when compared to the good ole' USA.

Even where, as here in Florida, dogs are allowed with permission of the respective municipalities on the premises of a restaurant, they have to eat outside.<br /><br />We are addicted to TV food shows; but have decided that our palettes are not inclined towards the latest molecular trends in gastronomy. Thus no spume except for the kind surfacing on our ocean waves. Now buying up cases of St. Emilion, that's quite fine!<br /><br />So, ignore the prices; enjoy the treats!!<br /><br />xxx JoanJake of Floridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460837412289201219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-52044911228302462872010-05-28T14:54:09.754+02:002010-05-28T14:54:09.754+02:00Oh dear, I just posted a comment and then it disap...Oh dear, I just posted a comment and then it disappeared into "service unavailable."<br /> <br />Do you have it???<br /><br />JoanJake of Floridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460837412289201219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-58775655141052113162010-05-28T14:36:52.057+02:002010-05-28T14:36:52.057+02:00France is light years ahead of us here in the US. ...France is light years ahead of us here in the US.

Those photos of the town are travelogue perfect. Love how the buildings look as it they are children's toys, placed at random. You must read "Spotted in France" about an American (former neighbor) living in Paris who travels the backroads to Provence on a Vespa with his Dalmation, stopping at Michelin-starred restaurants and inns along the way. He'd receive the cool shrug until the dog was spied, then suddenly plates of foie gras and crystal bowls of Evian would appear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529559263104583300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-59846176856444379182010-05-28T13:55:10.009+02:002010-05-28T13:55:10.009+02:00Despite the prices, everyone is having a good time...Despite the prices, everyone is having a good time...I mean, look at the view!
