Week 49 2014

Hello!

So many clues that Christmas is around the corner… Christmas lights appearing on the houses… Christmas music on the radio and the temperature dropped overnight!

Our advent calendar is out and each drawer filled with a surprise.

There are plenty of Christmas markets coming up, one of my favourites is at St Emilion this 

weekend.

Whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions in the run up to Christmas, wrap up warm and have a great week.

Best wishes,

Helen
