Rhubarb, rhubard, rhubarb

Brian finds my casual approach to parking rather amusing nowadays. I had just popped to buy a baguette in the little shop in Mussy, before we headed to the annual vide grenier that happens there on Ascension day.

It’s always quite a popular event, and this year was no exception, with perhaps a 100 stalls taking position around the central market area. The people in this area drift into the markets all day long, and a big vide grenier can go from 8am – 6pm, but the bargains go early.

There were some interesting little finds. Brian bought a selection of books, all to help his French reading. We also found a few hat hooks, which will be great for our ‘hat wall’ we are currently collecting hooks for.

And really excitingly I bought some rhubarb. I want this for a recipe, and haven’t seen any at the market yet.
