Week 3 2018

Hello!

I love rummaging around the flea market in Rauzan on a Sunday.  You never know what you might find!  I love this selection... a pair of clogs, a giant grater, and in the middle, is it a lost pirate's peg-leg?

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

Best wishes,
Helen

Within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill (Gary Oldman) must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history. Starring Gary Oldman, Lily James and Kristin Scott Thomas

After a short trial she is found guilty, taken into state custody and exiled to a witch camp in the middle of a desert. At the camp she takes part in an initiation ceremony where she is shown the rules surrounding her new life as a witch. Like the other residents, Shula is tied to a ribbon which is attached to a coil that perches in a large tree. She is told that should she ever cut the ribbon, she'll be cursed and transformed into a goat.  Starring Benfors 'Wee Do, Boyd Banda and Kalundu Banda
