A Slight Delay!

After a very wet few hours at the Brocante-ing in Le Grand Pressigny today, our drive home was punctuated by a twenty five minute hold-up in Seligny.

For the first ten minutes or so all we had no hint of it's cause...

Then a crowd started to form...

The Gendarme considered sending for officers trained in crowd control....

And then the event itself...

or a more technically accurate picture...

along with the requisite "spares"..

And it was all over!

My daughter made three observations...

1) There were no signs to warn of the impending hold-up
2) The policeman would have been lynched in England for such a hold-up
3) Why did the "crowd" gather on such a foul day?

Answers to the above..
1) Road signs in general leave a lot to be desired in rural areas, so why bother with temporary ones?
2) Probably!
3) Look around.....You're in rural France on a wet afternoon. What else do you do?

This pace of life is so very pleasant!
