The UK will not last much longer I am sure so I give up watching. I can't stand the sound anyway!!!<br /><br />Bread and cheese taste so much better in France than anywhere else I have ever had it, not sure what the trick is.<br /><br />The fish here is also magic as we are only an hours drive from the coast it is so fresh. Ordinary fish is not particularly cheap, but shell fish is. Hope you have sorted out the hunger pains!

It looks like a fabulous market and I wish we had one nearby like that. Love those masks and I'd have a hard time avoiding all the delicious looking bread. I have never seen bread at a farmers market. Lucky you! And all the cheese. Our farmers markets haven't opened yet but I must take a pic so you can compare!
