Loads of action planned in St. Céré Place de la République
this Saturday, as the Telethon to raise money for Kids in Need gears
up.
Saturday 5th December
The best Christmas Fair by far takes place on the weekend
of 5th/6th December. Watch out for that fabulous German cake they
bake fresh. So fresh, in fact, that we defy you not to chomp it
there and then!
It's called Christollen and is full of fruit and nuts and spices
and, believe us, you'll never make it last long enough to get home
with it!
We don't need to tell you which stand it is on... just follow your
nose!
Expect loads of stuff going on... as in street entertainers, horse
and cart rides, merry-go rounds, hurdy gurdy machines, crepe stalls,
mulled wine stalls, stalls selling arts and crafts Christmas gifts,
stalls selling sticky things to eat, not to mention artisan chocolates
etc.
If you only go to one Christmas Fair this year... go to Meyssac!
Sat 5th and Sun 6th December

We will be meeting on Friday 4th December at the Café
Voyageurs, for the last time this year... join us.
One of the biggest problems living in rural France, is the lack
of choice when it comes to pressie shopping. Choice, not just in
the variety of things on offer, but of price. It is almost as if
there is a cartel operating amongst all the major stores here. The
price of a Bosch cordless screwdriver differs not, between Bricorama
and Mr Bricolage etc.
A bit galling, really, when folks back home in the UK are spoilt
for choice and are having to wade through 2-for-one offers and hugely
discounted goods.
Well we have decided to do something about it and have begun on
a new website build to bring choice and low prices to us down here
in the boondocks.
As a beginning, we have teamed up with two famous online stores
- Amazon and The Book Depository, so you can get online and grab
some bargains.
Amazon deliver most things to France and when it comes to Books,
the Book Depository deliver anywhere at no additional cost.
Happy shopping.
