Hello!
So far we have caught 2 Asiatic hornet queens, one in a
trap, and one was in our house – it must have hibernated somewhere inside and
was looking for a way out. Last year
there were quite a few hornet nests in the trees alongside the river, hopefully
this year there will be less. If you don’t
have a trap out in your garden, now is the ideal time to get them out. To see how to make a trap go to http://notjustfortheholidays.blogspot.fr/2013/02/week-8-2013.html
The beautiful weather also meant that the carnival in Pays
Foyen last weekend was a great success with lots of colourful floats. Many thanks to JT from http://www.albayarns.com for her beautiful photos.
Easter weekend coming up, next Monday is a holiday – a 3 day
weekend with plenty of events to choose from.
The funfair in Castillon means that the stone bridge is closed for much
of Monday. There is also the Baseball
Tournament in Pineuilh, and Duras has a great many events planned, go to http://www.paysdeduras.com/ to see the
programme.
Whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne region, have a great
week, I love to hear from you and share your photos,
Best wishes,
Helen

Don’t forget that the clocks change on Saturday night –
which way do they go? And how do I remember…
Here are the English and French solutions to that dilemma.
