Marie on furlough. Well that answers lots of questions.
Could be the reason why she doesn’t get paid by Fanny. Instead she pays for her ‘free’ lodging, food and lots of drinks
by cooking breakfasts for B&B guests, cooks evening meals and helps clean up. No actual money changes hands so she can claim ‘furlough’ through her employer who claims it via British Government’s tax paying citizens ... wonderful!
On another thread: just had a notification on my FB to say the latest ‘Sadie in France’ vlog out tonight - ‘Going for a splash and a taste of Algeria!’
