Matt has returned to York, alas - missing him - and pleased to see that 'Chez Nous' have a waiting chair in their forecourt.
'Chez Nous' was the hip café in the day. It was kept on for the retired mother to pass to her children - then grandchildren - then she surrendered to the inevitable and sold her liquor licence. It never functioned as a café since I've lived here BUT in the protect-the-licence times she was obliged to annually open the doors. This was done with great secrecy. However... Therese (of blessed memory) came running to me one day when she'd caught it open and she dragged me in. Fantastic! Juke box fully stocked, bar and glasses in place; classic.
Arm chair something of a mystery though.
Sundays market impressed Matt...
He liked the bar too, we went there a couple of nights for apero and enjoyed it hugely. Tres francais; quite different from english pubs where there are comfortable chairs :)
