Wot No Wool Shops?

I'd checked on the internet before we went on holiday to see if there were going to be any yarny suppliers near to where we were staying in France, without any success.

Imagine my surprise when I spotted a familiar Phildar sign across the square from where we had parked in Matha, a town not 10 minutes away from the house we were staying in.



Frustrating! The scenery was stunning and everywhere we went, there were acres of Sunflowers



and even more acres of row upon row of grapevines



On the last day of our holiday, before we headed back up France towards our ferry at Boulogne, I spotted another green and blue sign in a lovely town called St Jean D'Angeley



Doh! Despite yet another wool shop for sale, St Jean is very pretty. Here's a view down one of the main streets



We also spotted this shop which made us chuckle for ages!
