Week 12 2017

Hello!

It's time to change your clocks.  The clocks go forward on hour between Saturday night and Sunday morning.  You may get an hour less in bed on Sunday morning, but those sun-downer aperos are beckoning!

An easy way to remember (if you don't mind American terms!) Spring forward... fall back.


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

Best wishes
Helen
