The Village Wedding - 5 - the broken foot


This little boy - perhaps he was a page boy at the wedding? - sits down to eat as he has a broken foot. You can see the crutches lying beside him. He sits outside the Restaurant Beau Sejour in the village. The owners and staff decorated the square so beautifully, provided comfortable seating and of course served the food and drink for the guests.

The climbing plant is Trachlospermum Jasminoides, by the way.

    Jilly, that looks remarkably like our Chinese Star Jasmine.

  2. Julie, Chinese Star Jasmine is the common name of Traschlospermum Jasminoides - so we are both right!

  10. Boys on crutches DO get fat... :-)

    I guess the other kids were all running around.

    I have a jasmine on my rooftop terrace and it's been a fragrant delight for the past month or so (nearing the end now), I can smell it from my desk.

  12. The boy is so cute. He sure enjoyed his food. Oh yes I saw th crutches on the floor between the chair and table. Hope the boy recovered fast and can run again.

    Great series of shots Jilly - really captures the community nature of the event. Why do the continentals always do things better?

  16. I like these wedding pictures. They're so real. It remind me the Sicilian wedding in the movie "The Godfather". Just change the flag, and the scene is ready.
