Easter Sunday in France
Today, 08 April 2012, I was homesick, missing the children and all of our grandchildren…normally we have everyone for Easter dinner and an Egg Hunt for the little ones.
Honey wanted to go out this morning, so we ventured towards Cazals, which has a mixed Market of vegetables, cheese, meats and other assorted foods, clothing and hardware on Sunday mornings.
I said…
” I am not sure if the Market would be on today because it was Easter Sunday”. However, it was on in full force.
We had a good wander around, made a few purchases of vegetables including a mélange of some exotic olives for our friends/ guests who are arriving tomorrow.
And of course, honey spotted another beauty....
We then ventured into the countryside to a small hamlet called Boulegan, only because I had picked up some info at the Gourdon Saturday market about a “Fete le Printemps” which is translated as a “Spring Festival” at what we would call a Garden Centre back in Canada
Our GPS, who we have named “Molly” took our car “Picasso” down some very narrow roads…I would say they could be called horse trails; they were only wide enough for one vehicle. We had travelled quite a distance and had almost given up on finding “Cathy’s Gardens”. We finally arrived.
Picasso you want me to drive down this road?
We purchased a couple of permanent additions to the garden at rue Marsis …what we call campanulas or blue bells, which we will plant in with the bugle boys.
Later in the afternoon, we went to the Salon de Livre, a book show and sale of ancient/old books at an old Church n Gourdon.
Here, my honey looked at various old books, and we purchased some old prints to replace some artwork in the office at home.
