Week 19 2012

St Meard in the sunshine

Hello!

Thank you very much for all the contributions I have received, please keep them coming, it’s great to be able to have so much to share.

The sun shone down on St Meard on Tuesday, the whole village was out in force to celebrate and I bought out all the camomile in the hope of planting a lawn.

Pottery Market at Bergerac.

Cyrano surveys the market.

Bergerac hosted a pottery market on Sunday and there was also the flea market at the foot of Cyrano’s statue, everything is more cheerful when the sun shines.

This week brings another holiday on Tuesday – May’s great for holidays this year, and a musical feast for Jazz lovers in Bergerac.

As the days warm up let’s hope we can finally put the umbrellas away.

Best wishes,

Helen

13th of May from 8am to 6pm

Rain drops have stopped fallen on our heads…at looooong last!! So we’ve been thinking of ways to get you out, about and back in the swing of spring again.

Yes indeed it’s that time of the year again for some antiques and antics.

Come and join us up at Sanse for our second annual outdoor brocante: BROC à SANSE.

This year we are hoping to mix the bag up and add in a few new surprises with the participation of some of our local artists and crafts people.

Our restaurant will be open to serve you and light snacks will be available on the market place.

We are counting on you to spread the word and we look forward to seeing you here for this event.
