Week 23 2015

Hello!

The Perry Taylor exhibition ‘Petites Gasconneries’ opened this week and runs from 31 May – 27 September at the Musee Souterrain de St Emilion, 21 rue André Loiseau.  His wonderful cartoons capture life in rural France.  Find out more about him on Facebook or http://perrytaylor.fr/en/

I’d like to thank TC for his ‘two pennorth’ on the debate about fleuves and rivieres: There are 5 main Fleuves in France, La Seine; La Loire;La Gironne;le Loire and Le Rhine. These are like the main arteries which originate in a source and always flow into the sea. The Rivieres are tributaries of each of the Fleuves and always flow from the Fleuve, never the other way round. I'm not an authority, just remembering a course I took in French before I came out here, and this was one of the subjects we were examined on.

Whatever you do this week, have a sunny time in the Gironde and Dordogne regions.

Best wishes,

Helen

And finally…

It’s around about now when you should prune your cherry trees.  Wait until the last of the cherries

have been picked and eaten, then prune out the dead branches and the extra growth.
