I LOVE the word Flaunch and had never met it before even though I counted myself quite literate really in terms of HERALDRY etc. As for Dimanche, the sleeves explanation is much better and I will choose to believe that. Is it the same sort of thing that has the origin of MARMALADE as what her maids said about Mary Queen of Scots when she pined for orange jam on moving from France to Scotland: MARIE EST MALADE....Mary is ill. Maybe the Word Den could look into this for me! And I so agree about the Railway Children and E Nesbitt. Lovely!adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826710558292792068noreply@blogger.com
