Week 5 2020

Hello!

Did you know that the Catholic holiday of Candlemas, on 2 February, is a feast to commemorate the purification of the Virgin Mary and the presentation of baby Jesus. In France, this holiday is called la Chandeleur, Fête de la Lumière, or jour des crêpes.

Not only do the French eat a lot of crêpes on Chandeleur, but they also do a bit of fortune telling while making them. It is traditional to hold a coin in your writing hand and a crêpe pan in the other, and flip the crêpe into the air. If you manage to catch the crêpe in the pan, your family will be prosperous for the rest of the year.  There is also a train of thought that suggests you should keep this well flipped pancake on the top of the wardrobe for the year to doubly ensure good fortune…

Enjoy your pancakes and whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions – have a great week.
Best wishes,
Helen

Come and make a Valentine gift (or keep it for yourself!) from ceramics on Saturday afternoon in Sauveterre.  I'll be showing you how to use coils for heart shaped wall hangings, plates and pots.
Contact me for more information, or even if you like the idea, but can't make the date, I can set up a workshop for a group of friends.

Week 11 2016



Hello!

A wild and windy week, with sunshine, rain, hail and more rain!  A goose must have got blown off course and ended up marching up and down beside the river honking his head off!


He wandered off down the road after half a day and we haven’t seen him since.  (I don’t know if he was a he or a she?)

This weekend brings the last of the weekly Flea markets in Rauzan, so head over and see if you can secure a bargain, I’ve picked up some amazing Le Creuset bargains this winter.

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

Best wishes,
Helen

And finally…

The Brexit is a topic on many people’s minds right now.  Expats can vote if they go to the UK government’s website and register. https://www.gov.uk/voting-when-abroad
 
British citizens who have lived oversees for more than 15 years however, do not have the right to vote.  If you want your voice heard – after all, Brits can’t vote in France either, then follow this link https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/112142
