The annual garlic auction. Three days when the worlds garlic aficionado's descend on our little patch of paradise. Most of the action taking place in a large steel shed on the outskirts of town. Ever eager to catch a stray tourist a variety of stalls selling 'decorated' garlic have appeared on the road that leads to the church. Business this morning is slow. A poster informing us that the world garlic peeling contest will be held under the market hall roof this evening. We buy two twists of fresh garlic, one of white the other purple. Bob and Sophie find the whole thing fascinating. Their favourite part ? The garlic sausage stall.
A record of those unimportant little things that are too important to be forgotten.
