Street Market

I've arrived back with a wonderful souvenir of my UK trip: a streaming head cold. I can't see, can't think, certainly can't taste anything but when I reviewed my photos this made me smile mainly because the paintings are so colourful but also because the one to the far right that you can't see (because I didn't take it) was really quite explicit albeit in a cartoonish style.

Street markets are very popular and most sectors of the towns and the villages have at least one a week. This seemed to be a mostly second hand book, paintings and photo market. Interesting to browse though it's too hot really to linger for long.

Grasse. The Fish Market

The fish market, all washed down and spruced up. The cast iron canopy is lovely though I feel the fairy lights detract from its beautiful lines.

Fish is sold still though during some local fete my daughter's class exhibited their art work here one evening, there was a band, a glass of wine and a speech from the mayor and it was all very pleasant.

Many thanks to Kala who sent me the info. to change the format and to Jilly who helped me when I found myself stuck.
