Week 17 & 18 2024

 Hello!

We have plenty of  bank holidays coming up, so I've tried to include all the events.  If you know of anything coming up, please send the info and I'll do an update next week!

Meanwhile, if you are wondering if now is the right time to plant out your young seedlings, France has the Saints on its side - Les Saints de Glace... ignore them at your peril...😉

 Whatever you do this week (and the next) in the Gironde and Dordogne, have a great week.

Best wishes,

Helen

Week 16 2024

 Hello!

Last week it was the wisteria, this week the roses have arrived and their scent is heavenly. 

Perfect school holiday weather is set for the weekend, and it's the brocante in Rauzan, worth it for a couple of hours browsing, you might even find that hidden gem.

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

Best wishes,

Contact me if you'd like to get creative with clay.  These were made by grandmother and granddaughter combos.  

The clay changes from grey to white in the kiln.  I never stop being enchanted by the clay.

Week 15 2024

 Hello!

This is one of the most beautiful years for wisteria, it seems that wherever I go, I'm greeted by billowing clouds of purple loveliness.  

 

It's the school holidays this week and next, so there's plenty of family friendly activities out there.

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne, keep your eyes open for the wisteria and have a great week.

Best wishes,

Helen
