Knitting and crochet retreats at knitting holidays in France

June has been a busy month - the second retreat was another great week with a lovely bunch of ladies. This time it was a group who had all met at various workshops in the UK, but it was the first time they had all stayed together for a holiday. I have never seen so many projects!

We started the week with a show and tell of all the projects, I have never seen so many bags!

The weather was lovely so we were able to cook tagines outside and use the BBQ

And the gin fountain was in use

On Tuesday we had an afternoon in Cognac with a visit to Chateau Otard, the beautiful old Cognac distillery for a tour of the building and a tasting session

Then on to my favourite little yarn shop for some retail therapy

On Wednesday it was a trip to the market in St Jean d'Angely to buy a few baskets
