More new things

Cinnamon has discovered moles - we don't get them in Ireland as they didn't make it across the land-bridge, just like the snakes.  Or maybe they, too, were banished by St. Patrick.

Oh, what's that smell...

dig..dig..dig..I'm sure I'll dig them out...


Then she met this chap at the back of the Paella stand at the Cereste market.

Caption suggestions, anyone?


This is a better photo of the carriage at La Florentine (just for Denis!).  It's called a caleche.





In the tourist season, Popeye the horse carries people around in it to earn his keep.  Popeye is a Comtois horse.  This is a very old draught breed which comes from the Jura mountain region between France and Switzerland.  Popeye's colouring is typical - they are any shade of chestnut, with a flaxen mane and tail - a bit like a large Haflinger!




This is Popeye's best friend,
the miniature donkey


They are out "on holiday" with some youngsters
