The Rendezvous Editor's Blog. Normandy’s English language magazine opens each month with the Editor’s Blog. How do you actually use up a salary of £18 million? There is a poster which reads: ”I’ve been rich, I’ve been poor. Rich is better.” How true. Being short of money is soul-destroying, marriage-wrecking. Repeating “no, we can’t afford it” to bright eyed children is very dreary. But £18 million? How do you actually use up that much money? Does any sane person want a gold-plated yacht? There's a level...

This should be a cheery column about all those jolly resolutions we make and break at this time of year. But I think we’re all a bit jaded, this January, for such nonsense? Most of us are vacillating between stiff upper lip, we’ll get through it, heroism and explosions of blinding panic. Then there are all the French busi...
