Just Summer Stuff

How nice of the council to put up umbrellas on the empty stretch of beach just below my daughters house. There are a couple of benches too. Almost a private beach. 

I've told her she should put up a sign

'Bitouni Beach' 

And maybe a 'trespassers will...' 

 

Dear  Piglet

That's the name of his house. He believes his grandfather's name was Trespassers William. 

But of course you all knew that

The yachts are packed in along the quay now

The honey stand and our favourite honey seller. 

She has half a dozen different tasting honeys. It depends where her hives are placed, in amongst the orange blossom, beside a bank of wild thyme or in a field of flowers. She has lip gloss made from honey, a honey salve for cuts and burns and jars of honey comb. 

Our farmers market is getting smaller and smaller. Besides the honey stand there are only another 4

We bought honey with the flavour of thyme, our favourite.  Tomatoes, apricots, zucchini, eggplant and summer greens called vlita.
They had melon and watermelon too but we buy those from a grocer whose supplier brings   melons that are always sweet and juicy. They're sure to be good.  

Watermelons are 45 cents a kilo
Apricots 2 euros
I can't remember the rest. You look, you like, you pay. Or you walk away.
