    There used to be a knife sharpener around the corner when I was a little thing. Lovely candid shot.

    Lovely action shot. Reminds me when we used to have a man drive round the neighbourhood asking people if they wanted their knives and other tools sharpened. Don’t know where he went to. Miss that sort of community; its all big shops and multinationals now.

    Interesting – is this sort of chap more common in France, I wonder?

    • MrsTeePot

      I *think* it’s just a tourist thing, like he comes out for the tourist season then disappears, but don’t quote me on that!
