Week 28 2021

 Hello!

This is the week that the Tour de France comes to Libourne and St Emilion!  Find out all about it here 

The Office de Tourism in St Emilion as plenty of information about the event.

Looks like the weather should be good for the cyclists and spectators alike.

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

Best wishes,

Helen

Coming up...

And finally...

Night markets are back in business, grab your basket with your 'kit' - plates, cutlery, glasses and napkins and head to your local village square or waterfront.  There's often live music or a disco, there's always a choice of food, and it's a fun way to spend an evening.

It looks like it might be a whole lot of fun.  You don't need to commit to the whole 2 days, they ask for a minimum of 4 hours.  

Whatever you do this week in the sunshine, keep safe and well.

Best wishes,

Week 9 and onwards...

This looks a lovely addition to the big Sunday Farmers Market in Libourne:

And finally...

The theme pottery workshops in Sauveterre for March and April are here to see.  No previous experience is necessary. Call or message me to reserve a place as numbers are limited.

If you see a workshop that interests you, or you have a project in mind, don't hesitate to get in touch, there's plenty of flexibility for dates and times.  

Gather a group of friends or family (up to 4 friends) and come and have a pottery session.  You can't go out to coffee, but you can go out to pottery ... and I'll offer you a coffee!

The session on 20th March is a double 2 hour session, make and decorate a clay fish with me and in the other hour make a felted fish from wool with Dorothea.  We'll put them together to make a hanging decoration in time for 1st April.
