It's a relief that entente cordiale has broken out between Wallingford and its twin (once removed) of Luxeuil-les-Bains in eastern France.

It’s always such a pity when families fight or become distant and this was the case when Wallingford decided to end their relationship after feeling metaphorically emotionally snubbed.

But with a flourish of gallic charm the good folks of Luxeuil-les-Bains seemed to have wooed Wallingford back and we wish them well for the future.
