Flower power

My most favourite event of the year has to be the flower festival in the small village of Bergères. Through rain or shine, it makes for such a beautiful day out.

This year we had a few rain clouds to dodge, but it didn’t dampen our spirits, and certainly didn’t stop me from purchasing some beautiful plants.

It was made even more enjoyable as we caught up with some friends for a coffee and catch up, and compared what plants we’d bought.

I also couldn’t resist buying some locally grown strawberries and white asparagus. They are both so fresh, and I can already say the strawberries are very sweet and delicious.

Even the local ‘punk’ band showed up. Not sure they played any punk songs I could remember. They were very upbeat though, which was popular.
