Hello !
I know it’s still only November, but I’ve been getting into the Christmas spirit and had a lovely weekend visiting Christmas Markets around and about.
I bought some beautiful pottery from Joanna McKinnon in Bergerac, and delicious cakes from the Cake Fairy in St Andre et Appelles.
The Christmas lights are also starting to appear – can you guess where I saw these ones?
I’d love to see your Christmas light photos, so if you take any, send them to me and I’ll put them onto the blog.
I’ve continued to update the Christmas market blog, so keep an eye on it, and don't forget the antiques market is still on in Bordeaux.
Best wishes,
Helen
