A week of sunshine and showers and the beginning of the end of summer - but the start of the wine harvest. Chateau Carbonneau are picking their white grapes on Friday and would like to invite you to join in the experience. If you'd like to go, then give them a call (details below) and you can be part of it.
If you can't make the event on Friday, but would like to visit their beautiful chateau you can go and have tea (or wine) and cake in the garden on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 2-6pm.
I don't have any photos of the Francobritish week events to share, but if you do, I'd love to post them onto the blog. The same goes for any photos of events featured here. Please email them to me at tomandhelen.woods@orange.fr
Have a good week, I love getting your feedback (and maybe your photos too!) and if you call up Carbonneau please mention that you read about it in the newsletter/blog. You'll have a great day.
Best wishes,
Helen
