On the way to the train station of a morning, I often stop for a cuppa at one of the several coffee shops on the High Street of our small Hertfordshire town. From there, I have a great view of a plush funeral parlour, with an opulent flower-decorated coffin in the window, right next door to a much more plain-looking Holland & Barrett health food shop. It’s a good place to ponder life’s futility and get depressed. There’s nowhere you can hide from funeral parlours in our town.

I have always found shopping for food in France an almost sensuous delight, particularly when buying fruit and vegetables. I don’t know how they manage to make their salad leaves so bright-green and their tomatoes so unabashedly red. While on holiday in Normandy last summer, I couldn’t tear my gaze away from a graceful plywood basket of tomatoes in a huge hangar-like Carrefour supermarket.
