Gardening in Paris 24 March 2012





Our local weekly market is the Marché Batignolles. A few minutes walk from where we live. We try to go there every Saturday. I have a freshly cooked potato, onion and cheese galette. Absolutely delicious.
We have been eyeing off the oysters, but we never ever quite knew where to start. There's a huge variety, all from different areas, different sizes and different prices. Last Saturday we bought a dozen and a shucking knife. Geoffrey can now shuck oysters. The stall owners will happily shuck them for you and they were only too happy to show Geoffrey how to do it.


Bon appétit!
Geoffrey has started a garden.
He has a pot of parsley, a pot of thyme, some basil, 3 pansies and a polyanthus.
