Hello
Les Guinots held their first Night Market on Friday, and
there were worried eyes watching the heavens, but someone was smiling as the
evening stayed dry and it was a great success.
The car park in front of the the Cave co-operative was the
ideal size for the event and the tables soon filled up with a great mix of
people (though a football match did delay the start of proceedings for some).
We watched the sun go down over the vines and the energetic
amongst us danced throughout the evening.
Night market season has arrived!

| Thank you JS for the great sunset photo |
If you know if a night market near you, or you have another
event that you’d like mentioned on the blog then please send me some information. It’s never too late, I can update the blog
any time even after posting it. I still don't have dates for Castillon or Blasimon.
Whatever you do, have a great week in the Gironde and
Dordogne regions
Best wishes,
Helen

Coming up…
14 July : This is Bastille Day, the French national holiday,
commemorating the storming of the Bastille, which took place on 14 July 1789
and the beginning of the French Revolution. It marked the end of absolute
monarchy, the birth of the sovereign Nation, and, eventually, the creation of the
(First) Republic, in 1792. But to me it will always be French Firework
Night, and most towns and villages have their own displays. If you know of a good one near you, then let
me know. Castillon always has a super
display on the stone bridge at around 22h30.
Watch it from the waterfront in front of the Chai au Quai to get the
best view.

Fete de l’esturgeon et de la riviere at Montpon Menesterol. Who knew that there was caviar

tout! It’s a big one taking all the

And finally…
We became part owners of a pig this week. Not your ordinary common or garden pink pig,
but these spotted ginger pigs! We met
them for the first time last week and will be feeding them apples and carrots
until the autumn. They are a cross from two traditional British breeds – but can
you tell which ones?
Many thanks to K&M for including us in their fabulous pig project.
Dad says they are a mix of Gloucester Old Spots and Tamworth
