Chestnut time again

It's amazing to think that it's a year since we went to Mourjue for the Chestnut Festival! And this time I made sure that I didn't lose the photos. It was as enjoyable this time as it was the last; good weather, lots of interesting 'folk' bands and lots of people having a good time.

Mourjue is a tiny little village in the middle of farming country, but, for this one weekend of the year, the place is packed. We walked up the street from the car park ( field) towards the little main square, past lots of stalls selling all manner of food and other products connected with chestnuts.

We sampled a selection of goodies, including the obligatory roasted chestnuts. These were being cooked in bulk to cater for all of the visitors.

As we munched our way through this feast, we were being serenaded by an amazing selection of bands playing strange instruments.

A lovely day out and a bag full of chestnuts to roast on our fire at home.
