Returning from seeing my daughter in France the other day and waiting to catch my plane at Limoges airport when I got chatting to a very pleasant lady who intorduced herself as Michèle. It turned out that we had lots in common as Michèle and her husband David (Lambert) run a writing retreat at their home 'Le Verger' at Savignac-Lédrier in the Dordogne area of France, something they've been doing for the past 14 years.
I was fascinated to learn about her writing retreat which isn't that far from where I head several times a year. there was such a place in the area. Isn't life just one big coincidence sometimes. Michèle could have sat anywhere but sat next to me in the airport, so began the conversation... a writer meeting a writer!
Here a link to Le Verger. See for youself what a great place it is.

The Blenheim Boys
‘The devotion and gallantry… are beyond all praise. The Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava is eclipsed in brightness by these almost daily deeds of fame.’
Winston Churchill on the Blenheim Crews - Prime Minister’s Personal Minute, M.852/1, 30 August 1941
