We sit over the sunshine harbour, balcony with view, your table set with a scrap of linen, blue plates and green glass In the square below the farmers offering fresh tomatoes and herbs, the cheese stall piled and the bakery overflowing queues and chatter, shopping baskets knocking against knees | Petit dejeuner avec Henri  | Baguette and brioche, pain de compagne to soak up the summer on a plate saucisson and champignons, and a pale glass of rose a bowl of cafe at your elbow Your pipe jetting sparks and the crisp paper releasing its inky essence The shutters half open, the sea against the sky, mimosa and figs and a cat with geraniums |

You draw an excellent image with those words.
well done imagery.
wow.
Wow, wish I was there! This is actually evocative of my "happy place" that I go when too stress. Of course without Henri! Plus you made my belly rumble!
A peaceful, contented breakfast in lovely surroundings - seductive, indeed.
Appetizing images here...

This is wonderful!
An excellent image painted with words.. fun picnic.. :)
hugs xx
Beautiful description! I was there for a brief moment.
Images painted well, drawing us in, could hear the click of the camera, the whir of the lens.
A feast for all the senses, sumptious Magpie.
Sigh. Incredibly evocative. Thanks for the journey.
You've taken your keyboard and painted a picture...a very inviting one. Well done. Vb
Glorious. I love the font, also.
A breakfast I would share any day, with or without Henri
My .... this sounds like a place I would enjoy visiting ...
Are we in the south of France? Say la Cote d'Azur, le Cap d'Antibes? I can see the plein-air market, the bowl of coffee (yum! with hot milk!). The food paints such a vivid picture! And the cat with the geraniums-- and best of all: le soleil! Merci, Isabel! xxox
Delicious imagery. Beautiful.
My sort of breakfast! Good choice of words to a vivid description. But what was Henri doing having breakfast with you? :)
I would love to be at that breakfast; love the phrase, 'summer on a plate.'
Just beautiful. Your descriptions are exquisite, I could see it all as though I were there.
Really idyllic..I could be there now..lovely..
Who wouldn't enjoy a meal like that? :)
I want to be there! It sounds incredible!

Morning breakfast-evocative, sensory-wow work.
Just lovely. A sigh of a poem, actually.
Nice poem, terrible font.
You are an artist.
Formidable, bien ecrit. Mais quand meme, c'est "petit," pas "petite."
There's always a nit-picker. :-)
Merci M.Berowne et pardonnez moi: je l'ai corrige (accent aigu).
