Week 37 2013

The sun came out for Capitourlan

Hello,

Thank you for all the hairdresser recommendations – all gratefully received. Not that anyone got to see my hair this weekend with the rain that we had.  It didn’t stop play too much on Sunday, and by the time we arrived at Chateau Belcier for Brunch the sun was pushing through the clouds.  What a lovely setting, overlooking the slopes of Castillon, tasting wine and listening to Jazz – my kind of Sunday.

Rain didn't stop things at St Florence

Next weekend is the Journees and Nuit du Patrimoine (Heritage days and nights) where monuments throughout France are open to the public for free, and there is always a magnificent music and firework show in St Emilion.  Make your way to the centre of the village and you will have a treat of a free display starting at around 22h.  To see the full programme for St Emilion go to http://www.saint-emilion-tourisme.com/bdd_fichiers/1378290262.pdf

Jazz and wine for Brunch at Chateau Belcier

Whatever you see or visit, have a great week,

Best wishes,

Helen
