Week 31 2012

La Dordogne en feux!

Hello!

I love fireworks and La Dordogne en Feux at Ste Terre Plage on Sunday night didn’t disappoint!  We watched from a ‘secret location’ on the opposite side of the river.  It was like a show just for us!

Now I know where everyone is on a Sunday afternoon.  By happy chance we were at La Plage under the stone bridge at Castillon on Sunday.  There was live music and dancing, and it’s like that every Sunday.  Go along and join in (if only I could get my dancing feet in time to the Madison!?!)

The Battle of Castillon has three performances this week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  Go to http://www.batailledecastillon.com/ to find out more.

Sunday afternoon at La Plage.

So much to do this week – have a great time.

Best wishes,

Helen
