On what is probably one of the hottest days so far this year, here's something to cool you down - taken last Friday. A freak storm that hit us, but didn't even dampen Castillon!
Whatever you do this week in the Dordogne and Gironde regions, keep cool, drink plenty of water and stay in the shade!
Check back to the newletter from time to time as I sometime get updates of things to do at the weekend.
Best wishes,
Helen
