The weather is certainly hotting up here so after many weeks of grey skies in the UK we are taking every opportunity to enjoy the clement climate and stay outside. As we are in France this involves brocantes and food markets. Here is a slice of what we have been enjoying over the last few days.
| Just love this sideboard – Sadly no space to put it |
| Chic in the brocante – Great outfit – crisp linen shirt teamed with black spotted trousers (not sure I could manage those myself but they suited her). She looked altogether very cool and soigne. |

Sounds like a beautiful day(s). I could feel the light; it was like being there with you. I appreciated your comment under the sideboard.

We certainly ate our fill for lunch.
Your photos are so bright it cheers up a rather dull day in England

Loved your describing the linen shirt as "crisp". I, too, like to consider my linen items "crisp" when they are wrinkled. Part of their charm.
