The Scarlet Pimpernel in Bournville



I was just putting out the recycling when this 'white van' pulled up




and then suddenly the sides popped open

and there was an authentic French delicatessen right on my doorstep.

Completely unexpected and completely surreal - and I am thinking

... Deja Vu....

Of course....




...it is a scene from "The Fifth Element" which of had a French Director, French Production Design and, of course, all the clothes were by Jean-Paul Gaultier. In this case the noodle bar came to Bruce Willis' window - rather than the end of the drive - but you get the point.

"The Scarlet Pimpernel" delicatessen comes to Bournville on Wednesday evenings - you can contact Cydric on 0791 239 1421 to arrange a visit.
