Week 40 2014

Hello!

Many, many thanks to everyone who supported the Coffee Morning on Saturday, from the team that helped on the day to the people who came and drank coffee, the folks that made cakes and those who sent donations.  A big THANK YOU We raised just over €750 for the Macmillan Trust and the Institut Bergonie.

It was a beautiful morning, the sun shone and we were all outside by the river.  The little extra games were so well supported, and for those who are curious there were 4856 100s and 1000s on the cake.  The winners have kindly re-donated their prize to the cause; again, I can’t thank you enough.

 

Whatever you do this week, have a great time in the Gironde and Dordogne regions and if you know of an event, then please don’t hesitate to let me know.  I can always add an event even after the blog has been posted – it’s not too late.

Best wishes,

Helen
