Week 36 2025

Hello!

It's back to school and it's time to get out and join a club.  Each town and village hold their own 'Association Day' - Forum des Associations - where you can go along and find an activity or club to join. You don't have to live in that town to join that association. Have a look around.  It's a great way to meet new people, learn a new skill, polish up on your French.

I'll be in Sauveterre-de-Guyenne supporting our association, Arts Typiques and talking about all things clay, but also, drawing workshops, sewing, felting, weaving, textile printing and all the other activities we offer from the Maison des Artisans.

Associations are non-profit making groups, they're usually really inexpensive to join and are a great way to integrate into the community.

Whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great week,

Best wishes,

Helen

Week 35 2025

 Hello!

It's almost back to school, so why not chill out on Friday evening with some live Jazz in Flaujagues. Listen to the live music with a plate of charcuterie, or cheese or salad whilst sipping a cool drink, gather a group of friends and enjoy the evening. 

 

However you choose to spend the last weekend before the summer holidays are over, have a great time in the Gironde and Dordogne regions,

Best wishes,

Helen

My little ceramic earrings have been quite a success, so I'm trying out some different shapes and colours.  Here they are warm from the kiln, they're so pretty all together.  I'll be mounting them on their findings this weekend (I love that word, find out more about findings here 😊)
