So I don't know what cheesemonger means and I read it as cheesmongerer so I have this image of you hoarding blocks of cheese like a dragon does gold.
I've looked up the word now and I see you sell cheese haha (I figured as much from the context already but I like learning new words) and monger means to sell or peddle, not hoard. Warmongerer makes more sense, as does a cheesemonger.
From the French I learned in grade 9, I feel there's a fun pun in cheesemonger, if you were to say cheesemanger. 😆 not too sure if that made sense lol but it was funny in my head.
You're making me hungry, Rachel. We have traveled in Belgium, marveling at the Flemish art and the Belgian (not French!) fries. We've wondered ever since why more people don't visit this fascinating country. It reminds us a little of Canada, where we live. Like Belgium, Canada has several cultures that are sometimes at odds, and an attention-grabbing neighbor. People tend to assume that any prominent North American must be from the U.S., just as they think Simenon and Magritte must be French.
I love your back story, having roots in various countries adds richness to your life … I live in England as an artist, but was born in Paris to a French father, hero of the French Resistance - my half sister lives in Antwerp - and my Aunty in Carmel, NY - I feel more international than English
I feel fortunate to have soaked in so many cultures and countries. It’s made my life rich. I don’t know if there’s a name for people like us! What I do know is that my family for generations have been travelers and curious. Maybe that’s why I create.💕✨
My 94 year old Aunty Pam from London was a GI bride at 17 in 1945 … she moved to New York and raised a large family and still travels and works … an amazing spirited character.
At 76 I still want to keep traveling and explore the world… maybe we should be called globe trotters or Transatlantic Artists 🤣

I ‘d love to be a cheese-hoarding dragon 🐉. I do love cheese and would protect it, if needed!😂

I like that!
800 columns?! Amazing! 🤩
Yes! I couldn’t quite believe it! It’s a definite discipline to have to write every week.
Oh, you understand!😂
