Vide Grenier season


Hurrah for the vide grenier season - though actually it started
last week, I was just slow off the mark. Here is Nel not buying
a bike at Fa.
She did get some brill chairs though and Pete found a faux
Tiffany lamp that is lovely.


Heres Eddie, strolling from his house to the centre of the action-


many stalls set up under cover in Fa as the weather is so
uncertain. In the event, its hot and clouded over with volcanic
ash. Bummer.


At La Serpente, not many greniers were being emptied so here
is a photo of a barn door covered with wild boars feet.



And the piece de - !!!! some well dodgy theology here, a brass
cross entirely stamped with roses and wound with an apple-
holding snake. Best value at 1 Euro.

Also got a bottle of violet ink, 2 books and 2 blocks of beeswax.
With the mergez baguette lunch and a cup of coffee I managed
to spend 7 euros in total.

Have determined to enjoy France to the max.

Willie Hagues speech, which should have been read to the EU
today* (had the Tories accessed to power) will leave the Brits
in some potage, if not for the effect on our status then certainly
for our relationships here. Et alors, mes amis! La Perfide, c'est
lui, pas nous!!
