Hello!

| Battling on in Bordeaux |
What a great week, the sun came out and our gardens woke
up!
Saturday took me to the Bordeaux International Fair where
I was representing the Battle of Castillon on their stand. The Fair runs until next Sunday, and there’s
lots to see and sample. It’s free for
all over 60’s on Tuesday, and for the rest of us it’s €7.90 on the day or €6.20
if you buy ahead on the internet http://www.foiredebordeaux.com/Infos-Pratiques/Dates-Horaires-Tarifs

| Jo's beautiful pottery in Bergerac |
The Arts and Crafts exhibition in Bergerac was lovely, wandering
round the beautiful Jardin Perdoux in the sunshine, looking at some beautiful
art exhibits whilst listening to live Jazz was just bliss.
Another holiday on Thursday, and this week many people
are taking the ‘pont’, so be aware that places could be unexpectedly closed.

| Le Fleix brocante |
Finally, I have had a few requests for someone who gives
Cookery Classes. If you know of anyone
who gives these please could you let me know and I’ll add it into the Blog.
Enjoy your week,
Best wishes,
Helen
