You have some colourful and chaos free markets there. We have a mad house here in India, I mean it. I shudder at the thought of going to a vegetable market. Sound perfect to me atleast.

Managed to wrestle scarves off the girls before they went in the sea thankfully... ;) The oysters went down very well with Lisa's sister. Her mum tried them and wasn't so impressed though. We thought they were okay...not wild about them to be honest, but happy to eat them if the need arose! Had moules au roquefort yesterday - yum :) Ah yes, they are really into the swing of it now.

Sorry we couldn't summon up any better weather for you this summer. Everyone says its been a very bad year this year, which is a shame. But hopefully you still had a good time. I bet it was nice to have the girls with you for a while. We really enjoyed the market. Lisa has been to Coulonges market before I think, but we should really visit more often. The fruit and veg etc is really top notch. Hi Jon and Ros.

I still find it a bit of a struggle, even using the right knife. A French friend rinses them under the tap to get rid of any bits of shell - they soon make more liquid. We like Fontenay market on Saturdays - good fish stalls upstairs in the covered market. Also Coulonges market on Tuesdays - not too far from Foussais. We stayed at our house in Foussais for 3 weeks in August - the weather was dissapointing. My daughter and our two grandchildren (Ruby 6 months and Lily 2 years) joined for the middle week.
