Week 33 2016

Hello!

A great turn out for the brocante in Gensac, I cartainly haven't seen that many people there for a few years - did you find a bargain?

Great weather set for the coming week!  So, whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a lovely sunny time... and don't forget a hat and sunscreen.

Best wishes,
Helen
