I’ve been sooo busy, I nearly forgot…….Today is our 2nd year anniversary, here at Beauregard. (Due to annoying PC crash, late last night…read ‘yesterday’).
Where does the Time fly?
And I’m sooo busy, I don’t have the time or energy to get it all down here.
Maybe a very quick recap of the last few weeks:
Schools out for [...]

We are nearing the end of term and don’t I know it.
It is a frenzy of activity,events and general mayhem. For those of you planning on having a slower, gentler pace of life, by relocating to France profonde, think again.
We have football tournaments and outings, the same with rugby and riding. The choir is having a [...]

Tonight we went to the Chateau de Duras to watch Diddy perform with her class. It was a joint theatrical production with the other local schools. Our school was performing a work by Jean de la Fontaine….Les Animaux Malades de la Peste. Unfortunately, most of it was lost on me, with my limited French and my [...]

I had the pleasure of being transported back in time by 20 or so years last night! For last night, I went to see UB40 in concert at Monsegur, along with Plum and Deana.
We planted ourselves to one side, not far from the wine stall, the poubelles and a very handy hedge. We danced and swayed [...]

And I thought it was only going to get better!
We have just come limping out of the other side of the worst storm to hit since 1999!
We were woken at 5am on Saturday morning by fierce winds and horrible noises…too scary to be lying awake in bed, just inches from the roof. I took Diddy [...]

The kids and I received an invitation to the Margueron school kine/loto evening, held at the very swanky Halle de Fêtes. So at 8 o’clock, we ventured into the night and took up our places, for a fun-packed evening of bingo.
Kine or loto is a very popular winter sport in these parts. It is enthusiastically supported [...]

The following weekend, 16th August, is medieval day at Duras, followed the next day at Villeneuve-de-Duras, just down the road.
This is an annual event organised to celebrate the rich cultural and historical significance of the Dropt valley. Which is all a bit of a mouthful and suspiciously like the sort of thing organised for a school trip….but it’s [...]
