Week 11 2024

 Hello!

After a soggy start, Monsieur Carnaval was successfully set alight in Sauveterre last weekend.


If you're wondering why... Monsieur Carnaval… is responsible for all the wrongdoing people do throughout the year. At Carnival time in France, Monsieur Carnaval is judged for his behavior throughout the preceding year. Usually he’s found guilty and an effigy of him is burned at the Carnival. He is generally blamed for the terrible weather and poor crops too.

Seems that the burning of Monsieur has brought about the lovely weather, so whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great week.

Best wishes,
Helen

And finally...


I love the daffodils in the garden.  Next Saturday, 16th March, we're making daffodils in the pottery studio.  You can hang them up, or attach them to a stick and place them in a pot.  The centres are left unglazed so that you can dot it with essential oils to perfume the room.
Contact me if you'd like to book a place, or make it on another day - gather a group of friends and enjoy creating together. ☎ 06 30 89 85 36

Week 9 2024

 Hello!

We did have on day of glorious sunshine this week, and it was a perfect day for the Bordeaux Aquitaine Classic Rallye which hadn't put in an appearance for a couple of years.

 

Many thanks to SP for her beautiful photos.  The rallye cars whizzed right past her front gate on the way to their classes.

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a good week - we've had an extra day this month to get everything done! 😀
Best wishes,
Helen
