I was in Newcastle at the weekend visiting from the USA and noticed on the flight schedule "LIMOGES".

Using Wikipedia i found the following

Limoges (French pronunciation: Lemòtges or Limòtges in the Limousin dialect of Occitan) is a city and commune, the capital of the Haute-Vienne department and the administrative capital of the Limousin région in west-central France.

Limoges is known for its medieval enamels (Limoges enamels) on copper, for its 19th-century porcelain (Limoges porcelain) and for its oak barrels (Limousin oak), which are used for Cognac production.

Guess what? Spring's arrived, I've got the world on my side...

...and I managed to track down the very girl that L.I.M.O.G.E.S. was written about!

You'll have to wait for the book, but no, she was an English lass.

I must have missed the memo, I did not know until i read the flight display board in Newcastle Airport and thought thats a coincidence.
