Mussy

We drove over to Mussy-sur-Seine today as there was a ‘vide grenier’ (car boot) happening. Mussy – pronounced ‘Mousse-y’ – is a quiet, pretty little village, along the banks of the Seine. It has a small tourist office, and a beautiful church which they have recently finished renovated.

The vide grenier was at the back of the town, along a tree lined track. It was really well organised and had some good stalls. For instance, how many car boots would you find a stall offering champagne tastings?

We had quite a successful little visit. I bought four decanter stoppers. I am making a bit of a collection of them, so I buy them whenever I see them, although I am a bit fussy on which ones I chose to buy now. Brian found another log splitter, as he needed a second one. We bought 2 more table cloths (you can never have enough), a little crystal vase (I needed it to make up a grouping of crystal vases), an old Jules Verne book – ‘Five weeks in a balloon’ – which will hopefully one day be read, and a small galvanised bin. All in all a very successful haul of goodies.
