Early June knitting and crochet retreat in France

Where does the time go to - I seem to be more than a week behind with the blog at the moment!
The first retreat in June was another wonderful week - a mix of old and new guests.
We started the week with a trip to the Puce de Couturieres at one of our local villages - a wonderful market of new & vintage fabric, trimmings, yarn, buttons, bag handles and lots more .....

By the end of the second evening everyone was starting to feel a little weary 

and yarn winding was not going well

After an early walk in the fields with Buddy & Billie I was ready for a trip to Cognac

Starting at my favourite yarn shop

Then a wander around the town

and coffee and cognac (for some!) in the square

Back home for more knitting and crochet

The next outing was to Saint Jean d'Angeley

First stop was the sweetie shop

Then more shopping and sightseeing

on the last evening we went to visit Egreteau our local Cognac producer for a bit of tasting and shopping

Back home for apero's and supper and a show and tell of some of the projects. The end of another week at Knitting holidays in France with some amazing people
