You will remember the consternation and unrest in our village over the introduction of house numbers and new street names.
Lisbeth (I know I've gone back to calling her Lisbeth. It's just one of those things!) is finding the whole thing quite fascinating and charming as she listens to the various discussions of the pros and cons (more often cons) of the new arrangements.
Just the other day, she heard that the people who live in the new houses up past the salle des fete, already had numbers (unlike the rest of the houses in the village). With the new arrangements, they've not only been given a new street name, but all the houses have been given a new number. Now both the residents and the post people are finding it confusing.
Then there's the friends of Lisbeth who live down the road. They have two entrances onto their property and have been given two different numbers: one for each gate. Both gates open into the garden: one each side of the house. I wonder if you can write to a garden?
It's all very 'French', as they say

hello monsieur mouton, i've just got my links thing sorted and put under clotted cream.
Hope you're well and not getting too cold yet.
meant to say 'put YOU under...'
Thank you, Paula. I'm afraid it is getting a bit cold here now. I don't like the winter much as it's hopeless for grazing!
