Hello!
As I write this, the rain gauge informs me that we have had
8mm of rain since 8am this morning! But
we have also had blue skies, sunshine and even hail! 4 seasons in one day that’s for sure.
Some interesting events coming up including Cookery Courses
at Chateau Ambe Tour and the new season of Les Grandes Heures de St Emilion
Concerts gets underway.
Finally, check out the For Sale page as a huge basket of
hardly worn teenage girls’ clothes is there.
Have a good week,
Best wishes,
Helen

Two young Bronx-ites dream of 'bombing the apple', a graffiti artist's

fulfilled...

Coming up…
If you hear of any Easter events coming up, please let me know.
And finally…
The police have recently unveiled a new kind of mobile radar
speed trap which they can operate from inside an unmarked car (though the
police themselves must be in uniform).
Apparently it is capable of issuing up to 9 fines a minute, sent
directly from the car. Rural spies have
informed me that it’s a black Megane with the number plate CG 792 AV
