If you go to Gensac you will see the results of a successful yarn bombing!I love how it brightenes up the centre of the village, smiling faces on lamp posts and signs, woollen webs in trees and stripey sweaters on the trees. Go and have a look, and have a drink or a snack at the Gensake whilst you're there!
La Fete de la Musique takes place on midsummer's day, look out for events all around, stretching over the weekend too.
Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time and try and keep cool!
Many thanks to everyone who has sent contributions. It's never to late to add something in.
Best wishes,
Helen

And finally...
With this hot weather we really need to keep our liquids topped up so why not try water kefir? The best way to describe it is flavored soda minus all the processed sugar, artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. Water kefir is nature’s way of making soda and by far, one of the healthiest and easiest to make at home. It grows in a jar, a little like ginger beer, but with extra probiotics.
If you would like to give it a try, find out more about it here and if would like a starter, please contact Debbie at debbiebarazetti@gmail.com She can tell you more about it, and let you have a 'starter'. You keep it in the fridge and it's a delicious, cool thirst quencher, packed with natural goodness.
