Week 23, 2012


Hello!

Rain certainly didn’t stop play at the Bandas at Pineuilh! A fun and lively evening in the tents at the Sports ground – dancing on the table optional, but why not?

As Diamond Jubilee fever sweeps the UK, I had my own taste of England with cupcakes and the grand Thames pageant on Sunday.

And finally, thanks to everyone who helped me watch the Jubilee celebrations by recommending Bernard Damien who came and fixed my satellite. I highly recommend him if you ever need help with your satellite system 06 24 16 33 03 and 05 57 46 45 70.

Plenty to do in the coming week, and if you hear of anything extra, or want to recommend anything, you can add it as a comment to the bottom of the page – that way it goes directly onto the blog.

Best wishes,

Helen
