LIVERDUN

We are currently in that well known place on La Moselle called Liverdun. Its notoriety is from its geographical location on top of a steep hill around which the river tightly goes.The town is medieval and has kept the original intricate layout. Yes it is quite pretty but unfortunately dead. Perhaps we went on a bad day.

Soraya tucked in nicely on a dolphin. Not another boat in sight.

There is not much in the town, we could not even find a coffee shop! There was however a Madeleine shop. We always thought Madeleines belonged to Commercy. Well that is where they were invented. It seems Liverdun is trying to get in on the act. Not sure if the old lady on the packet eating a Madeleine is a real selling point. If I eat Madeleines will I look like that? Hopefully not. Yes they are 'Veritable'.


Madeleines de Liverdun.

I think someone may have too much time on their hands. Perhaps Madeleine sales in Liverdun are slow? Knitting Madeleines with a jar of knitted jam. What next? Well I can inform you it was a knitted box of eggs with one broken in half revealing the yoke. Moving on!!


I think I prefer Urban Gorilla Knitting.

Walking along Margaret happened upon......
