Our trip to the nearest supermarket covers 5.3 kilometers of back roads through farmland. It's a trip that's just a little bit different every day. Yesterday's entry showed the sunflower fields. Today there's a new sculpture that has appeared in a hayfield. I love it - the tractor makes the hay and then the hay makes a tractor. As I stopped to take a photo of this, an old farmer came walking down his driveway, offered his hand and said he saw by our number plate that we weren't from here and wondered if we needed directions. I told him No, we had just moved to here but hadn't yet changed our car registration. We chatted for a while and it turns out he knew the people who used to own our house. It's a very small world here. And a friendly one.
I love that tractor!
ReplyDeleteWhat brand of supermarket is your nearest, now? Still an Intermarché?
Yes, the Intermarché is still the closest. There's another one in Villereal, about 9 km away, and it is slightly larger. If we want exotic things - like bean sprouts asiago cheese - we go to the very well equipped LeClerc in Bergerac. Life is good!
