assomption day

Today it was a holiday here in France. Not being religious and farmer J working clearing brambles and cleaning up a field with the tractor a friend and I had a morning out at Caylus, a village in Tarn et Garonne where an annual pottery fair was being held.

Potters from all over France had stalls, some tasteful some not so. It must of been a blue day as the items I brought had a blue theme.

Later I  joined farmer J in a trip to collect cereal for the pigs from farmer friends where I found myself  drinking  a glass or two of Italian sparkling wine (very unlike me ) with a Jack Russell on my lap as a newly hatched chick cheeped in the lounge, It wasn't doing to well so was getting a bit of TLC. I tried to off load sparrow chick I found in the road while taking the dogs out last night. It didn't work. I've fed the sparrow, which has survived a day here so hopefully will be OK being fed on sugar water, oat bran (organic of course) mixed with water and a touch of arnica mixed in.

The sky on the way back was amazing, tried to take a photo while going along but think you needed to be there to see it!
