Well - maybe not tulips, and definitely not Max Bygraves*.
Yesterday we took Claudette's seats to the upholsterer in le Blanc. We went
early both so that he could get a start on them, and so that we could do the
trip in the relative cool of the morning. Because it was early and a very nice
day we took the opportunity to visit the centre of town, sit in a café and
watch the world go by, something we very rarely do.
While we were
on the terrace of the café a very large Dutch truck arrived, effected a very
neat 180 degree course around the roundabout (using back wheel steering on the
trailer) and parked in front of the florist's.
After we took a turn about the weekly market the truck was still there. As we
had to walk past it to get to the pedestrian crossing we took a glance in.
WOW! Talk about a professional looking unit. We were so impressed Susan asked
if we could take a photo, to which the reply was "yes, but we will hide".

Impressive!
Pretty grim carbon footprint for those fleurs .... call me a spoilsport......
bonnie in provence (with no tulips)
bonnie: yes could be. I assume you are talking about water, pesticides and artificial fertilizers, or do you mean that half of them will have been grown in Africa and flown to the auction houses in the Netherlands?
well, all of the above, but mainly the poor things flying around and being trucked around.
