Saint Arnoult..... or not....

Oh mes amis!  I am slowly staggering back to the land of the living.  Sérieusement.  Last week I caught the country-wide flu bug and Oooh la vache!  B-A-D.  The this weekend after I was finally resurfacing and seeing the light of day again--my sweet 'Petite-Fille' got it from moi----not fun.  So as most of last week was a blur...there was Valentine's Day (which is very low-key here in France) and then p-o-o-f--- the rest of the week gone in a blur of feverish delirium.

So on Saturday, as I was trying to get my head (and stomach!) together again and focus....there was a small (25 vendors) brocante in the nearby town of Saint Arnoult and knowing that I still wasn't up for it and also having that nagging albeit dedicated motivation to get over there and hopefully get a few things I had been looking for.... I sent French Guy (and Petite Fille who was not yet stricken with the plague...yet.) to hop on over there.  And so he did....my hero....... and this is what he found.....

Can we insert the sound of crickets here.....can we Photoshop a tumble-weed blowing down the road?  Can you count the ONE van and FOUR tables set up in the distance?  Well there you go.

I actually wouldn't have believed him had he not come home with the picture.  (He knows me well enough to document proof of these things rather than come home empty handed!)

Not that the weather was bad.  It was finally a tinsy bit warmer and the sun was out.  No snow like the prior weekend.....so what was the problem?  Where were the other 20 vendors?  Ce n'est pas une brocante!  Nothing missed there mes amis.  Maybe they all had the flu too!

Hope you are all fairing better!  

This will be catch up week for me after losing all of those days last week! 

 Bonne semaine!  and  bonne sante!
