I also love your writing. You make me feel like I'm there with your family.

The open market in Antibes has fresh vegetables, just removed from the earth. Some I've never heard of. Wonderful homemade tampenade. And the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen. Cheap too!

It is in the middle of the shops that sell wonderful olive oil and containers and french pottery and tablecloths. Fresh fish, chicken baking and smelling like a piece of heaven and sadly, horse meat!

One shop has a section of the floor that is glass so you can look downstairs, where they used to house the horses years ago. Now, it is a room with a kiln for his daughter to make her beautiful pottery and ceramics. I bought this darling, deep blue egg holder. It looks so cute in my fridge!
