We made a trip to the monthly market at Les Herolles on Saturday morning. It is one of the largest outdoor markets in France and luckily for us it was a lovely sunny day. Our main objective was to buy 2 little companions for Barry, the lonely cockerel. But first we negotiated our way through the crowds - not easy with a large 3 wheeler pram. Sam wanted sweets at every sweet stall and I caught Bella (who doesn't have a sweet tooth) arms outstretched trying to swipe baguettes right out of passerbys hands. So with a bag of sweets for Sam and a baguette bought for Bella - all was happy. And, we bought 2 lovely marran hens, who are at the moment getting aquainted with Barry. Now, we just need to give them equally ridiculous names for hens.
Wonderful pictures, so cheerful! The new hens are lovely, hope they are settling in well.

ReplyDeleteThese pictures are gorgeous. Love looking at all the French countryside goodness. Makes me crave a warm, flaky croissant with butter and jam alongside a metal teapot of steamed milk au chocolat.
