Those who live here will beam with pleasure when you mention its name for here we buy our furniture, rugs, plates, books and any junk you care to mention, for sous.
Its a training thang for the long-term unemployed (since many of whom are friends, it has the added benefit of a chance of meeting up) They collect old and broken stuff and restore it, then flog it in their vast and enticing warehouse. Outside their v and e warehouse they stack old windows, doors and bits that are essential to those restoring houses - see below...
Its a rare visit when I leave Le Parchemin with nothing but that happened today. After all that spending on paint at the sales, its as well.
I've been lazy lately but a quick update covers the sales in Carccassone - an entertaining day there with Andree yesterday- following on from dinner with Margaret at St Gobains the day before. Excellent quality - don't know how Robin is maintaining such high standards at such low prices.
Now its diet time. Really, I mean it, honest.
