Distrackted !!

 

Yesterday we decided visit the Sunday market at Descartes and then headed over the river for a walk at Buxeuil. We started by the bridge and followed one of the marked walks  

We were caught out by marks on this stairway, above, that we had not noticed before and decided to climb them, taking us away from the river bank along a walled path that we didn't know existed. The end took us out into suburbia and a lack of markings to follow but undeterred we continued to walk parallel to the river to take us over towards 'Le Bourg' and its pretty church. 

From there we headed up into the countryside and returned via the old Roman road back to the town.

Sunday's brocantes - Buxeuil & Antogny-le-Tillac

Pauline and I went along with Denis & Angela  plus Jane (no Peter) to the brocante at Buxeuil under a very hot sun where there was the usual diverse range of treasure on display.

I'm sure someone hunting would have had their sites on this item.

We all bought something from a 'vide maison' that was on in the village with some of the items heavy and large (no,not the moped, more on this later). This meant  Denis, who was the driver for the day, had to find a way avoiding the 'route barree' signs, to get us near the house to uplift the items and as intrepid as he is got us almost to their door!

We then headed over to Antogny-le-Tillac where Angela & Dennis had been a few times before and recommended it. The place had a lively atmosphere and plenty of interesting items to view!

We met some friends here who were doing their bit for the region's tourism.

All in all a fun ( if very hot) day out!

Sunday's brocante at Buxeuil...a few euros lighter

Walked over the bridge from Descartes,after a quick visit to market, to Buxeuil's brocante.

Where you had a variety of seating options on offer.

Or you could buy a Michael Jackson lookalike/soundalike (?) album from Alfonzo Jones.

Why wasn't he wanted?

Didn't buy this...

but did buy this lamp for a bargain € 5.00
