Week 26 2024

 Hello!

 Castillon has a painted wall not far from the library, and every year or so, an artist is invited to paint the wall. This year, the guest artist is Adrien Zammit.  I love this one...

 

The sun is finally out - so whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great week.
Best wishes,
Helen
 

Week 26

Coming up...








And finally...

As always, the very talented potters that come into the studio in Sauveterre continue to create.  There's something fishy going on here!

If you fancy having a go, or have a project in mind, don't hesitate to get in touch - you are very welcome.

Week 38 2020

 Hello!

Looking for a splash of colour in Castillon?  Bon Pour 1 Tour ( a talented graphic design team based in Castillon) have updated the wall on Avenue Jules Ferry.  If you're going towards Intermarche from the main square, it's on your left.

 
 
The Gironde is currently classified as a Zone Rouge under the Covid classifications and Bordeaux now has strict protocols in place with regards to what you can and cannot do, including outdoor activities and meetings.  It's not yet clear how this is manifesting itself in the more rural areas, some events are cancelled, others are still going ahead.
 
The activities and events that are listed below may not go ahead. If you know they are cancelled - please let me know and I'll update the listing.  I can do this at any time, even if I've already posted the page.
Best thing to do, is to call ahead and check before going to an event.

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, stay safe, keep well and have a good week.

Best wishes,
Helen

Week 37 2020

Hello!

Have you visited the amazing Klimt and Klee art and music show at the Submarine base in Bordeaux?

To quote my lovely friend RF 'Such a brilliant way to experience classic works of art, projected on dis-used massive buildings, like the submarine bassin, built by the Germans in WWII. You are literally submersed in it all around you and it’s set to music too. Well worth a visit.'


If you want to find out more, head to the website https://www.bassins-lumieres.com/en/home
I'd go again, it was wonderful.

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions. Keep safe and have a lovely time in this beautiful September weather.

Best wishes,
Helen

And finally...

We replaced our hens.  During lockdown we couldn't get any and then I needed to wait for the days to be a little shorter so that the first week of learning their new home at sunset wasn't too unbearably late. Now we wait for lovely local free range eggs from happy hens.

Welcome to your new home...
