It's Thursday so market day in Villefranche. We thought about it and actually didn't really need anything as we are emptying the fridge before a couple of days away but we went anyway. We do so love strolling around the market, at this time of year it's not crowded but there are still plenty of stalls. I made up for not needing loads of veg by buying plants, some heather to finish off the window boxes and a blue hydrangea bush. We also had time for a grand crème in the cafe overlooking the square, sitting outside in the sun.
Trevor, music man extraordinaire, is in demand as always, This afternoon he is playing in a concert at a retirement home , accompanying Edwige and Alain. For me, as well as planting the hydrangea and heathers, it was time to start on the protecting of plants against the frost, although if the extreme temperatures forecast in some quarters do happen it will be a waste of time.
Constructing the leafy blanket for the banana plants is a great way of double tasking!
This evening it is to be a pizza and a nice bottle of red wine by the fire night - after all that hard work I deserve a treat and an evening off cooking ( don't tell anyone but there's not been a lot of cooking this week as we've been out such a lot!)
