A Small French Market in Oxfordshire....
Yesterday I walked into town,on a very sunny day and saw a delight....A French Market!!! Didn't buy much, had a few tasters! It was great to see, the crowds of people, lets hope the market comes back again!!!
I love a good market and this one looks brilliant. There are lots of things I couldn't have resisted in your photos. (Are you "gearing up" for the next F1 season? Not long now.)
Hello Anne, that all looks very good but must say that I am a bit cynical about these so called markets. I've been to so many and have been really disappointed with the produce when I've actually used it. I love France and the cuisine but have never been able to relive the wonderful experience of shopping at the local markets. The 'Marche Provencale' in Antibes is the most encapturing market that I have shopped in.....
Perhaps I'm being a bit sniffy!
Hpoe all is well with you, I've posted a little up-date on my site.
Very nice; I hope that this is a regular event and you can return another time and buy a few goods. Come on Anne; be bold and bring home a few munchies or a bottle of wine !!
Casalba - Hi thanks for calling in. Sent you and email.
Loulou - I promise I will and photograph it...
Rowena - I did buy Olives, but then I always have them..should of bought the cheese!!!

Sally - I will show you soon. What programme do you use to edit your photos?
Linda - Yes your right, Food or Antiques...The French markets have been over here for a while, and they seem to travel around this area..great for use :-)
Barbara - They will be with us again, not sure when though. But I will certainly buy something next time, just couldn't make my mind up, it was just a joy looking around too!
Oh wow.....these are amazing phots Anne and how I would love to go here with you. Pick up a nice loaf of freshly baked bread, some artisan cheese and olives.........ummm.
Great shots! Can't wait til you come to Paris so I can show you around... You'll have to come down to Antony when we have our marche' to see our lovely farmer's market... Can't wait!!!! : )
Anne, did they have French chocolate? I LOVE chocolate and have not been able to find any chocolate better than the French chocolate. I'm off to Belgium next month too so I may change my mind then ;)
anne, i just saw your comment on my blog. I can't believe you are that close to Reading! I wish I had known as we could have met for a coffee as I was there for a week staying right in the centre. Next time for sure (Jason will be back next month and I might tag along). Have a great week!
Thank you to everyone for commenting, it certainly makes my day. A pleasure to see everyone of you. Old and New.. Blogging not only opens up the world but gives us new friends.
