Week 12 2013



Hello!                                                                                                                                             
 
As I write this, the rain gauge informs me that we have had 8mm of rain since 8am this morning!  But we have also had blue skies, sunshine and even hail!  4 seasons in one day that’s for sure.

Some interesting events coming up including Cookery Courses at Chateau Ambe Tour and the new season of Les Grandes Heures de St Emilion Concerts gets underway.

Finally, check out the For Sale page as a huge basket of hardly worn teenage girls’ clothes is there.

Have a good week,

Best wishes,

Helen

Two young Bronx-ites dream of 'bombing the apple', a graffiti artist's term for tagging the giant mascot that appears at Yankee stadium with the home team score a homerun.

And finally…

The police have recently unveiled a new kind of mobile radar speed trap which they can operate from inside an unmarked car (though the police themselves must be in uniform).  Apparently it is capable of issuing up to 9 fines a minute, sent directly from the car.  Rural spies have informed me that it’s a black Megane with the number plate CG 792 AV
