Like the sleeping cat and the lady at the grocery store, this is another photo I took in Ménerbes. I’m not sure if the name of the village rings any bell, but Ménerbes was the hometown of Peter Mayle. It is where he wrote “A year in Provence” and many other best seller books about daily life in Provence. I’m sure Peter Mayle would be able to invent a story around this photo.
Now I don’t have his writer skills, but this image sure tickles my imagination. It makes me wonder what it would be like to be ten years old, living in Provence maybe or staying with an aunt or an uncle. Is he hanging out with his best friend or perhaps the other boy is his nephew? Were they running errands for the lady next door?
Or did they pick a basket full of fresh cherries from their grandfather’s orchard?
Who’s to tell?

I am thinking the fresh cherries and they are selling them door to door to make enough euro to purchase some coveted toy.
Wonderful picture
It is a marvelous picture - so full of story and imagination.
It's a wonderful photo. I like the way it curves leading us right to the doorway.
Such lovely photos...I dream about the life I would lead if I was there......

That is one of the most darling photos I have seen in a long t ime. It could, indeed, tell so many stories.
I wish I could put such blocks around my doors. Don;t they make a difference?
