Here's another view of the new pedestrian bridge in Saint-Aignan. It's still not open. You can see the temporary (I think) walkway down near the water level that the construction workers used during the project.
I went over the Thursday market in Selles-sur-Cher yesterday and got some more fraises (strawberries), salade (lettuce), a bunch of radis (radishes), and the big score: gambas crues (raw prawns). Most prawns and shrimp in France are sold already cooked. I don't know why, maybe they last longer that way. We can get raw shrimp at the Asian grocers' in Tours and Blois, but it's frozen. Better than nothing for sure. I didn't see any gombos (okra) at the market. We've only found that at the big produce market in Blois, a good forty minutes-plus drive from home.
The other thing I did yesterday was to mow the north and west forties. Today I'll finish up with the south forty and the strip along the road.
I would enjoy taking the temporary walkway.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, that temporary walkway is a doozy!
ReplyDeleteOkay. Thanks for this photo as that first one was confusing. I was wondering before if the new bridge was the now explained temporary bridge below! Nice! Biking looks a lot safer on this new addition! Here at Costco and a Winco on Fridays they offer a temporary fish market where I can purchase fresh shrimp. Otherwise the only choices are precooked frozen or frozen. Unless, I drive over to the coast! I had to laugh at your response to my liking the bird in your photo - "...a late addition"!!!
