Rather than thinking 'landing attitude' and then waiting, which does work very well for Pitts and other buggarall-lift-winged types, try rounding out and then think 'prevent the landing' ie a classic hold off. You can't hurry or force the touchdown.....
If you aren't already, I would also try making glide approaches rather than long draggy powered ones. Whatever you do, resist the temptation to look at the ground under that invitingly open door ti try and judge height! Look ahead, middle dist. as before.
Also flaps are for girls
What bit of France are you flying in?
