Hello everyone! I would like to start off by thanking all of you for your kindness regarding my last post and also for those of you that were so supportive about yesterday’s guest post at Tish Jett’s amazing blog, A Femme d’un Certain Age. For those of you that missed it, you can see it here.
Now, most of you might know that I avoid covering our markets in Arles like the plague even if they are some of the very finest in Provence. It is just too cliché! And I do try from falling into those traps but just like the allure of lavender, there are elements that are too beautiful to be denied. So a little mutiny against my own overly controlling captain. This morning as I strolled with my Sister through the market, the light absolutely caressed the veggies, bounced off the freshly baked loaves of pain and lit up the honey like stained glass.
Hoping that you all are enjoying the finest of your season, wherever you are…
Merci BLW. 🙂
Carolyn, you are amazing! I am far, far too lazy to make my own jam even though everyone does here. How did it turn out?
No, my dear Marsha, it was just Robin and I–but I am always on my own when taking my photos even when Remi is there–too independent for my own good!

Holy Cow kabayoz, you have ancestors that were involved with the original Bounty? That is an incredible story and so fascinating how it turned out in the end. And yes, I agree, if only he hadn't been quite so stubborn…
Thank you so much for your kind compliment about my guest post–I was really excited to do it!
Loree, it is quite hot here too and I admit I bought my salad at the grocery store because all at the market were far too droopy!
Oh, if I were going on a trip to the Pacific, I know EXACTLY where it would be and you would be the first to know! 😉
You are too funny! Judith, this was a loooong time ago-as in early 90s!
Linda, I love how you pulled together the best of what I saw to make a wonderful meal! 🙂
Helen, you would be so inspired by all of the colors and ambiance–I am sure!
Thanks Jeanne! Today (Thursday) is our last and I will make the most of it!
