Week 27 2015

Hello!

Just when I think I know all about my local area I discover something new, and last weekend we discovered that there is a little lake at Lamothe-Montravel.  A charming site, normally a tranquil fisherman’s setting, was the venue for a vide grenier.  Barely 1km away from us by boat…

Take care this week in the heat, and see below for some hot weather advice.

Whatever you do in the Dordogne and Gironde regions this week,  drink lots of water and leave the midday sun to the mad dogs and English men…

Best wishes,

Helen
