Skiving

We've ended up not doing anything today. We went off this morning to try to see our stairs man, but he wasn't there. Then it stopped raining and warmed up, so we went to see the melon and donkey fair at Caminel, a little village up the road from us. As usual, the bigger the fair, the smaller the village, and the narrower the roads to get there. But, once we arrived, it was a job to find a parking place.


Not only was it a fair with fairground attractions, a market with all manner of stalls selling clothes and junk, but it also had agricultural stalls selling equipment and clothing, stalls selling regional products like cured meats, cheeses, breads and wines, as well as numerous fruit and veg stalls. It was an occassion for young and old, tourists as well as country folk.





















We found a building looking like an outdoor men's toilet, but, on closer inspection, there was some form of skittles being played there.



















We don't know how the competition was being organised, but it was all very serious, with a lot of blaming the state of the 'bowling lane' for missing the skittles!


Finally we found the main attraction......the donkeys.



No.....really.....one of those is Sue, although which has the nicest smile I'm not sure.




And no....we're not going to have donkeys!!!!
