Something for the weekend...



The unfortunately titled annual 'Art & Lard' festival (for English speakers anyway) is this Sunday at Le Petit-Pressigny  You can view the works of up to 20 local artists set up in a variety of locations throughout this charming little village. This year's event will also have some musical content in the form of a concert by a brass quintet in the church (not sure when) plus a 'retro-swing group' providing street entertainment. The 'lard' part of the day involves 'tastings' for children and adults plus an exhibition of medieval crockery. 

We understand  there is also an 'exhibition' at the nearby Château de Ré.

  1. There was nothing advertised at the Chateau de Ré...
    and as for finding out when the ceramix talk and the quintet were being staged and when...
    the Aquacueill seemed more intent on chatting to friends...
    we went to Furry-old-Larceny for a concert at the Petit Theatre and came back at 5PM for the last hour...
    but I got a wonderful photograph of one of the English Tea ladies holding up a 1200 [3Kg] sac of Taylors of Yorkshire teabags...
    We drank quite a lot sheltering there from the morning rain...
    BUT...
    it was a good do, despite the weather in the morning.
