Week 39 2024

Hello!

This weekend is the Rencontre des Savoir-Faire in Sauveterre de Guyenne.

On Sunday we invite local Artisans and producers to the centre of the town to show us how it's done.  There will be a whole host of skills on display - weaving, spinning, sewing, wickerwork, jewellery making, felting, wood turning to name just a few.

The day includes concerts and shows, food trucks and a bar, great prizes at the tombola and the boutique is open nonstop.

And I'll bring my wheel down from the workshop and you can have a go at throwing a pot (or living those Ghost fantasies!)

It'll be a great day with good weather - come and say Hello!

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

Best wishes,

Helen

What did one mushroom say to another mushroom?

He's a fungi to be with...😏

And here's the king of the toadstools pot made by one of the children in the pottery studio this summer. I think it's super!

Week 37 & 38 2024

 Hello!

The wine harvest is underway - they're starting with the sparkling wines.  It's been an interesting year, saved in the end (maybe) by the long dry spell.  Let's wait and see.

Nevertheless, take care on the roads, these tractors are hauling a valuable cargo!

Running a little late to publish this week, so here's a bumper 2 week edition.  (Honestly Emily in Paris cannot be blamed!)

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

Best wishes,

Helen
