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

Week 26 2016

Hello!

I love pottery and ceramics, so it was lovely to be walking round Castelmoron d’Albret in the sunshine at the weekend admiring all the lovely stands.

It’s a beautiful village with a very pretty little tea shop at the top of the village behind the pottery shop.  Even if there’s no pottery market, it’s worth a visit to wander through the little lanes.

Let’s hope the summer has arrived at last.  Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time.
Best wishes,
Helen
