Not Just For The Holidays: Week 15 2014

Monday 7 April 2014

Week 15 2014

Hello!

Spring flowers are all around, the skies are blue and the temperature is rising nicely. It’s a perfect time to be out and about in the garden. A good place to buy plants for the garden is at Marche de Printemps (Spring Markets). If you have a Spring Market near you or know of a good one, please let me know and I’ll put it onto the blog.

Have a good week and enjoy all the spring flowers in and around the Gironde and Dordogne regions.

Best wishes,

Helen

second-hand clothing.

11 – 12 – 13 April : The big spring Brocante at Rauzan. Plenty to see with over 140 stands. I don’t know whether it’s better to go early on and be the first to see what there is, or to go on the Sunday and pick up a bargain that they don’t want to pack back up? Whichever you do, it’s an interesting place to visit. Entry €2.50

11 April : Moroccan Evening at the Madiateque in Gensac which is supported by Parchemins and ARRPEJ. Find out about how a Bride gets ready on the eve of her wedding, storied from travellers and there’s something sweet to eat too!

The sale is on the Saturday and then on Sunday there’s a market on the Sunday (though I’m not sure what they’re selling…) Might be worth a visit if you’re looking for a jeep… or a tank!
