Italy in St Maxime

Today was Mark's last day in his home before he rents it out for the summer. He is moving a few miles away to a family home in Sanary sur Mere but will be travelling back several times each week to give lessons and make sure his renters are happy! Obviously this meant leaving his wife, Michelle, to do the last of the packing so we met up in the Wafoo for coffee.
Whist we were drinking lots of old Classic Italian cars passed with their flags flowing and their horns blowing! It was Italian week in St Maxime! This means, of course, lots of tents on the promenade selling cheeses, meats and other Italian products. There was also a display of old Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Mazeratti and Fiat cars. The strange thing was they came, juding from their number plates, from anywhere but Italy. There were french. Dutch and German cars but no Italian!!

I bought some Porchetta, which I first tried in Italy but have never found of the same quality since. Let's hope that the piece I have bought lives up to my expectations!
