A Nice Pair Film, Les Brocanteurs.wmv
On Saturday, 10th September 2011, we went to some 'Brocant's.
These are effectively 'flea markets' where part of a town closes some roads and the people put out stalls to sell 'unwanted items'.
The day started with the drive to Dover, wonderful sunrise.
There is just too much to see on the road in France, and the camera was being operated by the navigator, so it was a case of 'look at that' and grab some images.
It was a good day out, all too short. The road back took us again through Armentiers, and I was cursing the 'ferry crossing time'. I would have loved to stop and look at the pageant of the Geants that was going on. Maybe next year.
