The things they eat in France

There are lots of markets at the weekend, yesterday we were at our regular Saturday market in Apt, and now that the weather is warmer there were loads more stalls and loads more people. Anne was very proud of me (as usual) working away up and down the streets and through the crowds.

But today we went to Reillane market. We haven’t been there for a while because there were hardly any stall holders, with all the freezing weather. I had to wear my jacket and my halti, it’s a tough life, Anne says she’s never had a dog who was so reluctant to accept “The Tools of the Trade”, whatever that means! But anyway I do find it all a lot easier now, and I do get more attention when I wear the jacket, so it has its advantages!

And look what Anne had to eat, even I wouldn’t attempt attacking these little monsters!

Oursins or Sea Urchins

But she wasn’t long dispatching them, the nice people sitting next to us gave her some hints on which bits to eat and which bits to leave behind.

Empty Urchins

I just watched on in amazement!

Then as a reward I got to go the water meadows for a good run, where I got to eat Crotin de Brebis, which when humans eat it is usually cheese , but there is a reason the reason the cheese has this name!!! I’ll leave the interested amongst you resort to Google translate, but suffice to say there had been sheep in the fields.
