Gone Potty

Here in the Lot we're drawing towards the end of the summer tourist season but the fetes continue unabated.  This afternoon we went to the  little village of Uzech les Oules, only 15 minutes away.  This village is renown for the number of potters working there, and once a year they, and other nearby artisans, hold a fete to try to sell their wares.  As well as the potters, food and drink is available, there are workshops for children, and the day culminates with a dinner and then a dance.

Arguably, we were stupid to have gone because we were unable to come home empty-handed!  We succumbed to a dramatic plate ...

...and a chinese inspired vase decorated in a late impressionistic Monet style.  And the artist was a really nice man!
