This morning I set off for l'isle sur La Sorgue which is a beautiful township just 25 minutes from our home. Funnily enough everything seems to be about 25 minutes from here. Sunday is market day here and not just any old market. This was the market of all markets including brocante, fruit and vegetables, clothing, leather goods, hand made soaps, saucisson, garlic, olives, rotisserie chickens, paella,... I was in market heaven! I got there early, around 8.30am ...

We've been out of Wifi reach for the last few days so it's catch up time. Surprisingly France really isn't up with the play with wifi and so it has been quite difficult at times to write our blog, for Brodie to do mathletics and to just look things up on the Internet.
