Week 6 2017

Hello!

Is spring just around the corner? Shoots and early spring flowers are braving the wind and rain (and chickens) and pushing up through the earth.

What's growing in your garden?

Whatever you see and do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions this week, have a great time.
Best wishes,
Helen
