The Monday morning market busy. The locals out in force after the recent heavy rain. Bob and Sophie try to linger by the cheese stall but today the cheese lady is rushed off her feet and doesn't notice them. They soon head off for their illicit half croissant at the cafe under the arcades. Their disappointment at the injustices of life doesn't last long.
On our return we find Madame Bay and two great granddaughters installed at the kitchen table. The great grandmother and great granddaughters are dressed in matching, sensible, rain gear. The girls wear yellow sou'westers , Madame Bay an enormous orange chiffon turban .
There is to be a formal lunch following the unveiling of the memorial to the Algerian War. A general, the national head of the veterans association, will be coming from Paris to officiate. The local MP and Senator will also be there. For the great occasion the ladies of the catering committee are preparing a ' sophisticated ' menu. " Nothing over the top you understand. We were thinking of cassoulet " our saintly septuagenarian inform us , " or paella ".

We would ALL have stopped at the cheese stall!
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
With those stilts for legs couldn't you just help yourself at the cheese stall Bob? But I'd steer clear of the orange cauliflower !
I can see why Bob and Sophie would be disappointed at no cheese.
And my hope would be for paella, but only if it's made in the legendary giant paella dish.
Merlin would still be feeling very rejected indeed.

Wally's giant paella dish . Sophistication indeed. What the general , the member of parliament and the senator will make of it is another matter .
Love the multi-coloured cauliflowers!
that's some beautiful cheese! very wisconsin-like!

Colorful cauliflower. Bob and Sophie would probably like cauliflower with some of that cheese, in a lovely sauce.
I love it when my two drink out of the same bowl at the same time.
One of my favourite sights.

Love the cheeses. And the so very appropriate tablecloth on which they sit.
Cheese and cauliflower. Such a compatible combination. As are two furry heads in a bowl. And Madame Bay and nothing over the top.
Just look at the size of those cheese wheels! Mon Dieu!
That cheese looks incredible! Wow!
Who knew there were others who dressed like Madame Bay?
The great granddaughters must have it in their genes !
Gosh I have never seen such colourful cauliflowers before.
I'm sure Bob and Sophie were happy to see Madame Bay again.
