Mialet is found at the heart of the Perigord/Limousin nature park, in the North Dordogne, South West France. That's an 8-hour drive from Calais or 45 minutes south of Limoges airport. Mialet makes an excellent base for sightseeing and activities including the local reservoir and bird reserve with its stunning 9km circular walk. The nearby castles, cathedrals and abbeys, gardens, beautiful villages

, and green landscape are a photographers dream. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy golfing, riding, fishing, canoeing, walking, and cycling to more extreme sports like zip-wiring. History buffs will be enthralled with prehistoric caves and their art, Roman villas and medieval castles to a memorial village from WW2. Shoppers will love the gorgeous boutiques in Brantome, Perigueux and Limoges as well as the copious car boot sales and brocantes held weekly. Finally, this area is a must for foodies, as it's renowned for foie gras, black truffles, walnuts, chestnuts, wines from Bergerac, of course, the Limousin beef. Stock up at the many local markets and you can take home a little slice of life from this remarkably diverse part of France. There are many places to eat from family-owned bistros and summer night markets to the 7 Michelin Star restaurants within a 1-hour drive!

Angoulême, an hour to our North, is famous for its International Comics Festival. It is the second largest comics festival in Europe after the Lucca Comics & Games in Italy and the third biggest in the world after Lucca Comics & Games and the Comiket of Japan. It started in 1974 and runs every year on the last weekend of January. Angoulême also has a museum dedicated to comic-strip art, and many of the buildings in the city centre have comic paintings on their exteriors. The head is of Herge, the creature of Tintin.

Here's an old dry cleaning box on display in our fashion museum. Did you know dry cleaning isn't a modern thing? In 1849 a Parisian tailor called Jolly Bellin knocked over an unlit lamp of turpentine onto his wife's treasured tablecloth. Expecting to be in big trouble he hid it away thinking he would try and clean it undetected. Later he unrolled it and found that the areas that had been in contact with the turps were cleaner and brighter than the rest. He did more experiments before opening his dry cleaning services. By mid-1860, the first British firm began advertising a postal dry cleaning service. It was costly as soiled fabric parts had to be unpicked and laid flat in the solution, then sewn back. It was a valuable service though, giving extended life to expensive clothes. Thankfully we don't have to do that palava today!

Oysters are a huge part of the xmas celebrations here in France. They have been consumed by commoners to Royalty as far back as Roman times. Henry IV was reputed to have eaten 300 at a time, French philosopher Voltaire savoured them for inspiration, whilst Napoleon consumed them for good luck before a battle. Today, France is the largest producer and exporter of oysters in Europe, and the French each eat, on average 4 kilos a year, and half of that is at Xmas!

Do you like oysters, oh and if you do, I hate to say but here in France we have over 20 different varieties and they cost on average about £5-£6 a dozen.

Twas the night before xmas, I'm glued to the tree
And wondering what Santa has brought just for me
Could it be Bryan Ferry's new CD or some vintage lace
Or some delicious chocolates…I said with a smile on my face
That’s when I heard him arrive…“Hi Santa”, I said
He replied “you know…good girls should be in their bed”
“I know I should and now I’ve been caught
But I was so excited to see what you have brought”
“Well let’s take a look at this house where you abide”
He gulped, shook his head, and on leaving sighed
I then heard him mutter as he put his sleigh into gear
“You’ve got enough crap, I’ll see you next year!"

It's almost Christmas. Have you done all your shopping and got everything organised? Or are you still distributing last-minute Christmas cards? 😂

A typical black truffle market in our region at this time of year. At around 800 euros a kilo, not cheap but they are a prized commodity and enjoyed by everyone.

Today, at exactly 10:21 AM, we officially welcomed Winter! This day, known as the winter solstice, marks the shortest daylight hours of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Now, we can start the countdown to summer! It's beautifully sunny here today, and I'm heading out to some gardening! Wishing you a fantastic weekend!

If anyone is a good knitter out there, would love one of these festive cuties for the tree. 😍
