Hello!
With summer
just around the corner, what better way to spend the afternoon than in the
peaceful surroundings of the Glass House at Chateau Carbonneau in Pessac. With a choice between tea and cakes, or wine
and cheese, there’s something for everyone.
The magnificent
Napoleon III Glass House is a stunning backdrop for Jacquie’s homemade cakes
and scones served with a selection of teas. Alternatively you can have a glass (or
bottle!) of Carbonneau wine with Bayonne ham and Ossau Iraty cheese direct from
the producer - two other partners with Bienvenue à la Ferme.
Prices
range from €3 for a glass of wine through to €12.50 for a large plate of cheese
and ham.
Opening
on 1 May Jacquie and Morgane look forward to welcoming you to the tempting
treats available in the unique and charming Glass House right in the heart of
the vineyard - open from May to September on Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday,
from 2pm to 6pm http://www.chateau-carbonneau.com/
Whatever
you do this week, have a good time in the Gironde and Dordogne regions.
Best
wishes,
Helen

Coming up…
And finally…
This time of year is a busy time for the bees – the explosion
of blossoms all around sends them out and about in search of pollen. There is also a population explosion in the
hive with hundreds of new bees born every day.
This can lead to a new Queen being born and ‘buzzing’ off with half the
population of the hive in search of a new home.
Last year we successfully ‘re-homed’
2 swarms of bees.
So, if you see a swarm of bees ‘between homes’ please let us
know and we’ll come and take them away – we have an empty hive all ready and
waiting. When the bees are all together
in a tree like those in the photo, they are actually quite docile and easy to
move. Sometimes they take up residence between
the shutters and the windows in houses which have been closed up for the winter
as the gap is the ideal size for a natural hive.
Anyway, if you find one, be amazed at the natural world,
then get in touch and we’ll take it away!
