Week 32 2023

 Hello!

Have you seen the latest exhibition at the Submarine Base in Bordeaux.  A great place to go when it gets too hot outside.There's free parking too.


 There's currently a Dali and Gaudi exhibition set to the music of Pink Floyd in the daytime, and it changes to the Klimt, Klee and Klein in the evening.

Quick tip... don't arrive needing to use the bathroom because the toilets are right at the back of the exhibit, and you can't get there quickly in the dark!

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordgne regions, have a lovely time,
Best wishes,
Helen

And finally...

It's jam and chutney making season, so you'll be needing a funnel. But they're not just for jams. they work brilliantly for decanting produce such as rice, pasta, beans, lentils....

Pick one up at the boutique in Sauveterre

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...
