This morning Graeme requested French Crepes for breakfast; that’s not normally a problem, but even after doing a shop Sunday morning in the larger supermarket in Prayssac before our friends brought us home…we were short on milk today.
It’s Monday and everything is closed; that’s what we’ve been told.
We headed out to the shop that’s comparable to a convenience store back home…the Petit Casino, and sure enough it was shuttered closed.
Then we tried a Tabac/Newspaper store, they have a cooler with juices, water, etc. but no milk.
I asked the shop keeper if there were any stores where we could buy milk today.
Oh, of course the larger supermarkets are open, Carrefour, Inter-Marche and Leader Price…these are all on the highway out of town, the long walk, but Leader Price is only half way as to what we normally walk.
Success, milk and a few other things, and the Boulangerie across the street was open, so we were also able to get some fresh bread for dinner.
After our trek home and a few minutes in the kitchen; Graeme was able to have his feast of crepes with Canadian Maple Syrup that he had imported in his suitcase.
It was a cool and damp day, so we spent the afternoon watching DVDs of "Twin Peaks" ...what a crazy, campy, enjoyable show...how did we miss this years ago? And many more epidsodes to view!!
