Tomorrow we are changing our hotel for one night
Just a few meters far and with sea view.
We just had our lunch in front of the thalassotherapy
And waiting for high tide for a swim.
Women washing their clothes
They went to England by fishing boats loaded with onions and had a place in London to stock the onions and everyday they went to sell their onions loaded on their bicycles through London and even going to Bristol. They stayed in England 6to 8 months and then came back to France to do their farming.
They had onions at the front and back of the bicycle .
This is the bicycle they used until the 80’s!
Now I am going on the beach.
( my son does not have too much pain and is waiting for his surgery on Monday. We are going home on Saturday and have more news then)
Interesting history.
RépondreSupprimerWhen I was a child in Cornwall, just after the war, we used to get the onion sellers calling. I was so pleased that I could say Bonjour!
RépondreSupprimerGlad to hear that report on your son.
RépondreSupprimerThe area I live in has a lot of farms that grow celery and onions. Just today I saw onions piled in rows in the fields like your picture.
Have fun tomorrow!
