Week 15 2018

Hello!

Last weekend, through the rains we went to see the Artisans at work in Saint Croix du Mont. There were plenty to see, not to mention a couple of potters with beautiful items.

In the centre courtyard was Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad wolf, not far away from Grandma working on her knitting. Sculptures by Dominique Perez of Saint Aulaye.

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

And finally...

Now’s the time to set your hornet traps. We have lost our bees over the winter, not sure why, but we have already seen a few hornets lurking in the garden.

The traps are easy to build and amazingly successful, just don’t empty them out, top them up with more bait, it’s true, nothing seems to be more effective at attracting another hornet, than a trapped one!  The first traps should be laced with a mixture of beer, dry white wine and syrup (grenadine flavour is good, but any sweet syrup will work).  The beer and syrup attract the hornet and the white wine will repel the bees.
