Week 36 2014

Hello!

I’m planning a coffee morning on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support in the UK http://coffee.macmillan.org.uk/Home.aspx#.VAWQwGPrxu4  and the Institute Bergonie in Bordeaux http://www.bergonie.org/

There are not many of us who haven’t had our lives and those of our family and friends touched by Cancer.  Here in the region we have an amazing Cancer Hospital in Bordeaux, and in the UK they have the fabulous Macmillan Cancer support association, but they all need funds to keep them up and running. The coffee morning will be on Saturday 27 September and I’d like to invite you all to participate.  More details to follow, but if you would like to be involved please contact me on notjustfortheholidays@orange.fr

This week also calls for a celebration!  Notjustfortheholidays has now received over 100,000 visits!  From such a little newsletter that I started out of the frustration of trying to find out what was going on in the area, it has blossomed into this weekly blog.  Thank you everyone who has helped contribute, followed, recommended and sent me messages.  Without you, there would be no blog.

So, whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time.

Best wishes,

Helen

7 September 20h : Boyhood is showing in VO at La Breche Cinema in Ste Foy.

Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater's BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason's parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay's Yellow to Arcade Fire's Deep Blue. BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. Written by IFC Films
