Why do we call our site "Ranums' Panat Times"? The answer is simple: in theory (if not always in practice) we have oodles of "time" to read and think during our summers in a tiny French hilltop village, Panat.

Panat Time, 2008, is fast approaching. We are both looking forward to a summer of gardening and reading, because this academic year has been a very busy one. Have a splendid summer, everyone!
