Yesterday morning we left early to go to a big Brocante being held in Charlotte's home town. This is just a fraction of what I bought. I never cease to be amazed by the stuff the French don't want but we lust after.
My car is filling up fast with new pieces for
Ghost Furniture. We went through Picardie to a Gastronomique Brocante in the afternoon. That's a brocante with tons of food for the uninitiated.
It's hard to believe that under this stunningly beautiful Picardie landscape there still lay the bones of young men from the two world wars. Graveyards full of identical crosses are numerous. So so sad.
Today we took Tiana to the park after school. It's not hard to find delicious picnic fayre here.
The French do a good park.
Tiana got so excited with this flower that it fell off its stem just after I took this picture. Well that's her story and she's sticking to it.
Some wonderful colour inspirations from nature.
I told Tiana to stand in front of the fountain so the water would come out of her head,
each time I said it she put her hand on her head to check.
Wall flowers through a stone arch.
Here's something I didn't know until today. You can't make daisy chains from French daisies as their stems are too thin to split. Wimps!
