Hello!
 |
| So many stands to browse. |
Yesterday we went over to Sadirac to see the Pottery
Festival. There were over 30 stands with
potters from France, Spain, Portugal and Russia. There was a medieval kiln outside which was
fired up with wood and topped with broken terracotta and the heat radiating
from it was quite considerable.

| A Medieval style kiln |
Many of the potters had submitted a piece of their work for
a competition and the public could vote for their favourite exhibit. It was a tricky choice – which would you have
chosen?
The weather is set to stay beautiful throughout the week,
with another scorching weekend ahead. So
whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions have a great time.

| Which one would you choose? |
Best wishes,
Helen
Week 25 2014
From 12 – 29 June the Allees de Tourney in Bordeaux becomes
a huge open air food extravaganza! For the 5th year a selection of renowned
chefs set up their restaurants in the centre of the city and offer a chance to
dine with them in a more informal atmosphere. It’s a great experience, head
over there and enjoy the superb food. For
more information go to http://www.epicuriales.com/
(I’ve
just discovered that a group of cooks is a hastiness… though I think that these
guys would rather be referred to as chefs, and there’s no collective noun for a
group of chefs… a smorgasbord of chefs perhaps?)

Saturday 21 June –
La Fete de la Musique
The Fete de la
Musique is traditionally held in France on midsummer’s day. It all began in 1982 when the then Minister
of Culture Jack Lang decided to revive the pagan Festival of St Jean. He invited musicians from all walks of life
to join together and give free concerts.
Over 30 years later the event has spread throughout the world.
There will be a
concert near you to enjoy this weekend – have a good time.
