Week 49 2019

Hello!

Are you looking for a unique handmade gift - made by you!   Come and make a ceramic Christmas decoration at Sauveterre on Saturday afternoon.  I'll provide all the materials and equipment,  come and make and decorate your decorations from the clay and then I'll take them and fire them and they'll be ready by the 17th December. €5/person for 2 decorations.

Get in touch if you want more information - or if you have a group that would like to make decorations on a different day I can set that up for you too. - notjustfortheholidays@orange.fr

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

Week 48 2019

Hello!

Seems all this rain has caused the swans to go for a walk!  One of the things I love about living here is that we have so little traffic.


Eventually I had to drive gingerly around him.

There are plenty of Christmas Markets (Marche de Noel) coming up, so if you hear of one and want it included in the Newsletter, send me a photo and I'll add it in.
I'm also looking out for Carol services and Christmas Music events if you have any nearby.

Whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions - have a great week. (And watch out for swans on the road!)

Best wishes,
Helen

And finally...

Have you had your flu jab yet?  The trials from the past few years where the pharmacy can offer the injection service has now been rolled out throughout France.  I hadn't realised that Nouvelle Aquitaine had been part of a pilot scheme.

I turned up to the pharmacy with my prescription and was 'jabbed' on the spot.  2 years ago, when I first went via the pharmacy, I was one of maybe a dozen in total.  This year, there had already been a dozen before me on that day.  It's a great scheme just look out for the posters in the pharmacy window. A quick and easy service - Bravo!
