Week 39 2014

Hello!

Tea cups ready for the coffee morning

As the sun continues to shine on our beautiful corner of the world, the wine world is beginning to spring into action.  Harvesting has started and the vignerons are out in the fields.

This Saturday  we are hosting a coffee morning to raise money for Cancer care and research both here in France and in the UK.  All monies raised will be shared between the Macmillan Cancer Support and the Institut Begonie in Bordeaux http://www.bergonie.org/

Please try and come and join us for a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of cake, catch up with friends, and meet new ones. If you would like to find out more about the Coffee Morning please don’t hesitate to contact me and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday morning.

Whatever you do this weekend, have a great time in Gironde and Dordogne regions.

Best wishes,

Helen
