Hello!
There was a beautiful double rainbow over St Emilion on
Saturday afternoon which quite made up for the dark thundery skies in a week
where we have been dodging the raindrops which fell between periods of glorious
sunshine. Is this normal September
weather? I think the winemakers would say that it’s definitely not!
There was a gap between the showers on Sunday long enough to
make a quick visit to our closest vide-grenier in Mouliets … ‘Any old iron, any
old iron, any old, any old iron…’  |
| Next to the church in Mouliets |
The grape harvests have started in the Gironde and Dordogne,
if you get a chance to be involved it’s a great experience. Ask your local tourist office, or Maison du
vin where you can take part. See here
for St Emilion http://www.saint-emilion-tourisme.com/fr/agenda.html?m=10&id=251
Whatever you do – have a great week,
Best wishes,
Helen

not the right word… What is the collective noun for a group of horses…? A
gallop?... A string?...)
Thank you TK for the photos.
