The Travels & Adventures of Flog-It Removals.

Sunday was a day off at last so we had to find something to do and a day out at the markets seemed like a good idea. Off we trundled to Palafrugell for an amble around there, much quieter than in August and we could actually see the stalls now which made a change. Very quickly we got through about 50 Euros and thought we'd better carry on to the next market while we still could. We planned a visit to the Mushroom Market at Sant Hilari Sacalm which is a small town quite high up and it is where the source of the spring for the Font Vella mineral water can be found. The market turned out to be a few stalls in the town center with a stage in the middle for some later entertainment and a few food stalls. Very small but exactly what you expect an old fashioned village get-together to be. After a nice Pasta lunch in a local Italian restaurant we walked around some more and then headed for the Font Vella bottling factory, behind which is a place where the water just runs so that anybody can fill bottles etc free of charge. Most people just take a bottle or two and are happy but there is always someone who extracts the p*** is there not and on this occasion it was one of our ethnic neighbours from across the Straits of Gibraltar who arrived in a People Carrier filled to the roof with empty 5 litre bottles. My guess is she was there for the night. To end the day we walked up into the forest and collected leaves, the reason for which was not apparent to me at the time but next morning Nicky created a very nice Autumnal table center piece ready for Halloween. She is the creative sort and likes to make these at certain times of the year so orders now being taken and can be placed via all the usual methods!! ;-) Well roll on the next day off, I am sure we can find somewhere else nice and scenic up in the mountains to write about.
