Ah, well, that’s this year’s pilgrimage to Olympia. Much the same as last year really. What strikes me is the plethora of aromas that assaults the senses as you wander through the market section of the exhibition. And the cheeses….oh, the cheeses. We came away with a special offer (just for the show, you understand) of five cheeses for a fiver. Couldn’t resist. We also collected umpteen brochures from the tourist office of the Languedoc Roussillon to put in our house for visitors to use.
Oh, and we bought a clock for the kitchen that will look just the piece.
My only gripe is catering. There are several bars in the Olympia complex but none really have enough seating and the café set up for the show was hugely over subscribed. Otherwise, an enjoyable day.
We’ll be back next year for more of the same.

[Longrider replies] It was. We had a Camembert, a brie, something with garlic in it, an emmental and something else (can’t remember). The clock is a reproduction antique French design that will be ideal in the cottage kitchen in our French house. For us, getting loads of brochures for guests to use along with walking maps is a worthwhile exercise.
