On
Sunday Charlotte, the children and myself visited Salon International
de l'Agriculture in Paris. Yes in Paris not in the countryside.
It
was HUGE. Live sheep, goats, cattle, pigs and anything else edible all
inside and accessible to all and amazingly it was all spotless. Fresh
hay replaced any soiled hay in seconds. I have no idea how they do it
but it bloody works.
I
have never seen so many different breeds of animals in my life. Most
were massive. In fact it was more like a Mr Universe competition.
The
food halls were separated into French Regions and the fresh foods on
sale and the ready to eat versions were to die for. We had a Normandy
Duck Sausage Sandwich each which we could have fed an army with. A glass
of regional wine was €2.
The
children were allowed to touch the animals but it was left up to the
adults to keep them safe. After all isn't that what adults are supposed
to do? To be honest the children seemed to instinctively respect the
animals which I suppose comes from being allowed to be free around them.
We
British are too quick to blame the EU for our Nanny State, this proved
to me that it's not the EU it's the crazy litigious society we have
created. Too quick to sue someone instead of taking responsibility. We
have stolen our children's childhoods from them for money and for that I
feel very ashamed.
