Creperie Py

Yours For the Price of a Drink
The temperature climbs and thoughts turn to a long cool one... swimming pool that is. Especially if you haven't got one!

A good bet is to head for the Creperie Py, just off the road up to Loubressac. There is no entry fee, but play the game and order a drink or two between swims.

If you linger on a Friday evening, you'll be rewarded with live music on the terrace. 23rd July and the billing is "Soiree Salsa". Sounds promising

Will They? Won't They?

We'll let you know... watch this space. Ed

Fancy A Good Read

Do You Know This Author?
Catherine Sanderson is a Brit, living and working in Paris. Her discovery of blogging sites, encouraged her to explore this unique communication tool. Which got her fired by her French employer. She sued them for wrongful dismissal and WON! Which made her famous, naturally. Her life then progressed to the extent that she wrote her first novel "Petite Anglaise".

In her own words...

" ... petite anglaise started out mainly as light hearted commentaries on aspects of life in France with some anecdotes about the trials and tribulations of raising a bilingual toddler thrown in. It evolved over time, becoming more personal, touching on adoption, the breakdown of my relationship with Tadpole’s father (Frog) after “meeting” a man in my (Blog's) comments box, and our subsequent separation."

Since then, Catherine has published a further novel, "French Kissing".
