Montréal People: At the market, red signals spring
We vaulted from winter to near-summer temps in less than a week; on both last Saturday and Sunday at the market, I noticed that red is not just for geraniums anymore:
The male of the species has the brighter plumage:
Palest yellow trousers; the heaviness of her beautifully-fitted black coat lifted by a red scarf:
At a bakery, a young woman in a marinière minidress, jacket tied round her waist, moto boots and a red bag:
Just loved her red and pink zig-zag dress; she's voluptuous but buying plants, not the must-wear-darks rule:
Another sampled fruit in a red maxiskirt:
And une fillette found a red flower for maman:
Pastels and white show up once the temperatures hit the 24C/80F range but for now, red heralds longed-for warmth, as the leaves unfurl to the sun and people's smiles seem to say, At last!

The zig zag dress is a bold statement and why not?
We should wear what makes us happy.
All: Stay tuned for more "real people posts", at least till my summer hiatus.
I enjoy the markets around Bristol but I do find that I spend money like water what with a bit of cheese here, some baked goods there, some sausage, coffees, cake etc and suddenly my wallet is empty!
