Fete Du Ble

Saint Dominique

Went to the Fete du Ble et des Vieux Metiers in Pleudihen-sur-Rance, Brittany today. In very stereotypical fashion Elizabeth liked the animals and Hugh liked the parade of old tractors and farm machines. I think we have overdone the festivals a bit this year, this is the forth one. They are all very enjoyable, and if you have never been to a fete then it is definitely worth the trip. Personally I like starting with the trestle table lunch and wine. Inexpensive, basic food which sets me up for the afternoon.
