Week 24 2017

Hello!

Last weekend took me over to Sadirac and the pottery fair held at the pottery museum. A beautiful
hot sunny day and plenty to see.  I loved the 'field' of poppies and the man who made everything you could think of for the kitchen.

If you like pottery, there's a pottery fair in Castelmoron D'Albret this coming weekend.  It's a beautiful little village, said to be one of the oldest in the country, and there's a great tea shop with delicious cakes with a hidden garden at the top of the village.

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

Best wishes,
Helen
