Week 37 2025

 Hello!

It may feel a little autumnal, but there's no stopping Le Flot in Flaujagues, running through to the end of September, 2 dates remain, so get them in your diary.

It's a lovely relaxed way to spend and evening with friends, sharing plates of charcuterie and cheese. If the weather is overcast, it will be in the salle de fete.

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

Best wishes,

Helen

And finally...

Les Ateliages, who are just downstairs from me at the Maison des Artisans in Saveterre are celebrating their 10th Birthday with an afternoon of creative activities and a ball in the evening.

Come along, there are creative workshops to try (for free!) all afternoon. 

 

Week 35 2025

 Hello!

It's almost back to school, so why not chill out on Friday evening with some live Jazz in Flaujagues. Listen to the live music with a plate of charcuterie, or cheese or salad whilst sipping a cool drink, gather a group of friends and enjoy the evening. 

 

However you choose to spend the last weekend before the summer holidays are over, have a great time in the Gironde and Dordogne regions,

Best wishes,

And finally...

 

My little ceramic earrings have been quite a success, so I'm trying out some different shapes and colours.  Here they are warm from the kiln, they're so pretty all together.  I'll be mounting them on their findings this weekend (I love that word, find out more about findings here 😊)

 

 

 

Week 32 2025

 Hello!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe that we're into August and I haven't mentioned the Battle of Castillon.  The biggest show in southwest France. 

So, it's not too late, there are still a couple of weekends to go.  It's a fabulous evening of entertainment, I'm always amazed how Castillon puts together such a extraordinary event, and over 5 weekends. (you never know, you might be there on the night that England wins 😃😄😉)

Find out all about it here https://www.batailledecastillon.com/ 

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

Best wishes,
