Today,accompanied by Síle’s brother Colm, whom we had just picked up in Carcassonne, we decieded to take a small meander through the Minerve.

On the way home we spotted a Brocante in Rieux Minervois.

There I spotted ( and bought ) both of these;

The first I immediatly fell in love with.
Anyone who loves a glass sufficiently to mend it (especially with a doorknob turned to fit) is without doubt my friend (how could you not buy something which was so loved)

This au contraire is a total mystery to me (and to the man in the shop who begged me to return and tell him if I ever found out what it was ).

All suggestions welcomed.
