Wow! What a scorcher! Hottest day for a while - keep cool, drink lots (of water) and close those shutters!We are currently having a great time enjoying the night markets in and around the region and some of the entertainment is fantastic... and I will have nailed the 'Madison' by the end of this summer...
Fireworks over the Dordogne again, this time from the bridge at St Jean de Blaignac. By the way, the bridge is closed there until the end of September.
Whatever you do over the next week, have a great time in the Gironde and Dordogne,
Best wishes,
Helen
