Week 21 2021

 Hello!

I'm very excited to be out and about again!  This weekend on Sunday, you can find me at the EcoJournee in Flaujagues.  There is a full day of activities spread over 2 sites in Flaujagues.  I'll be there with my open air workshop.  Come along, say hello and make your own plant markers for your garden.

Take a moment to relax, work with the clay, and roll and stamp your own plant markers.  Then I'll take them back over to Sauveterre where I'll fire and glaze them.  You can choose your own words, and colour (green, pink, yellow or white), and they'll be ready for you in 2 weeks.

But that's not all, there's so much more going on throughout the day.

I look forward to meeting you on Sunday, take care and have a good week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions,

Best wishes,

Helen

Week 21

If you can't make the Ecojournee on Sunday, you can always come to Sauveterre on Saturday.  It's a sunflower workshop - but if you'd rather make plant markers I can set that up for you.

Make Sunflowers on Saturday

This is me!

Coming up...

 

 

And finally...

We've never really managed to get rhubarb to grow until now... so from garden to muffin!  An adaptation of Nigella's polenta muffins - rhubarb and almond muffins.

Week 42 2020

 Hello!

As the autumn really sets in, I gathered the last of the roses, and the last of the rhubarb - some of which will make it into the freezer.  This is the first time we have managed to grow rhubarb...

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

Best wishes,

Helen

And finally...

This looks like a good idea.  I wish I'd know about this when we got our new hens last month. Especially as there is another opportunity on 28th October in Mouliets et Villemartin.

The association "Poule pour tous" offers individuals the opportunity to save a reformed hen by buying it for 7 €. #poulepourtous is organising a big event for the adoption of 18-month-old red-haired laying hens in Saint Seurin sur l'Isle on Saturday 17 October from 2.30pm to 4.30pm, at 56 route de Bordeaux.
Organic and free-range hen breeders are obliged to renew their flock as soon as they are 18 months old. Thus, in order to avoid them leaving for the slaughterhouse prematurely, #poulepourtous is looking for adoptive families for them.
These chickens will lay 5 to 6 eggs per week for another 3 or 4 years!
If you wish to adopt some, go quickly to https://www.poulepourtous.com/planning-des-ventes/ to make your reservation!
