Week 26 2014

Hello!

You know that the Tour de France is round the corner when bicycles are popping up for sale!  These ones were out at the brocante in Juillac.  One was made in 1926 – not sure how well that one would do in a race, it even had a pedal for the back brake.

Can you cook?  Would you like a week in by the beach?  A holidaying family of 8 is looking for someone to cook for them in Lacanau from 12 – 19 July, accommodation is provided. If this interests you, or you have any further questions please contact Lune Vergette on 06 80 52 78 58.  I think it sounds like a great adventure.

There’s so much to do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions – get out and  have a great time.

Best wishes,

Helen
