Week 47 2020

 Hello!

We watch and wait for the news to see what comes next.  Meanwhile, it's too soon to eat the Christmas cake, but not too soon to eat tea loaf.  This 'cold tea cake' always reminds me of one that my mum used to make.  Not sure if her recipe didn't come from her mum. And always spread with that delicious butter with salt crystals!

Cold tea cake and butter.

 

There is hope that daytime activities will reopen in December for the run up to Christmas.

Whatever you do in the Gironde and dordogne regions, continue to keep safe and use your small local businesses whenever you can.

Best wishes,
Helen
 
A beautiful local business is in Monsegur is Aux Herbes et caetera selling home grown, distilled and made teas, soaps, tinctures and lineaments.  Limited opening hours, so check ahead, and a great place to get gifts. I love their herbal teas.
 


 
 
And finally...
 
First we had hearts, and now we have stars.  The ideal Christmas decoration.  Call me if you would like to reserve them, then you can collect from me or from Sauveterre. €3.50 each, or 2 for €6.
 
Call me on 06 30 89 85 36
 
We have begun to put our shop in Sauveterre online here. This way, you can see what we have, or follow the shop on Facebook here - you need to look under 'photos'
