Lurking in the undergrowth
I was on the way to "hommes en priere" this morning which starts at 8h00. It seemed very early. For me it was more like "hommes endormis" (sleepy men).
Anyway, on the way I saw this man lurking in the bushes near one of the road junctions. Remember, it's about 7h40 and still a bit dark. Whatever was he doing? Was he loitering with intent?
No - it's just the mushroom harvest, "la recolte des cepes". The radio told us the other morning that although the summer was very hot and very dry, the mild weather of the past few weeks and the rain from the storms has brought about a good mushroom harvest again.
Rather them than me. When we were doing our fungi practicals at Aberystwyth we used to eat the specimens we found - Jews' ears, shaggy ink caps, honey fungus. Most were vaguely unpleasant or just plain tasteless. Probably an acquired taste.
