Hello!

| Monestier Big Band play into the night |
 | |
| A glorious picnic in the park |
What a great week! The Party in the park was lovely - well done Monestier Big Band! Great fun and a super atmosphere with lots of dancing. We even managed to escape the storm.
Closely followed by the Night market in Castillon on Thursday, where we caught up with lots of friends from the Battle. (The cote de boeuf is worth a mention in it's own right!)

| The Castillonais enjoying supper |
And on to Friday - whilst the sun shone - we went to Flaujagues night market, and another delicious meal with friends. We're now totally organised, not leaving home without napkins and sharp knives!

Sunday night saw us on the stone bridge at Castillon watching the fireworks - fabulous, with fireworks bouncing into the river and exploding into colour from the water.
This week is the 6th Francobritish week, with plenty to do, not least 'Bangers and Mash' at the Comptior des Sports.
Have a good week, Helen
