As many of you already know \u2013or maybe not-the workday begins at La Giraudiere on a Tuesday, as such we have an extra free day to enjoy. Generally, Mondays are spent travelling, preparing for the week, or going to the -very popular- Chalais street market.<\/p>\n

At the market everyone gets the opportunity to buy local products; they sell fruits, vegetables, cheese, all kinds of olives, pots and pans, clothes, chickens and basically anything and everything you might need in Brossac.<\/p>\n

Today we were strolling by when Jim spotted a Paella stand and literally ran towards it to get some of the lovely rice; Emilie decided to enjoy a French cr\u00eape, Denise bought some cheese and bread and everyone sat down at the local coffee shop to have some caf\u00e9 au lait and enjoy our local treats.<\/p>\n

Once back home, and in preparations for the week, Paul, Elizabeth and Marisela decide to go to Barbezieux -a nice village about 25 minutes away- to buy the week\u2019s groceries, while the rest of the gang stayed home and enjoyed the nice summer weather.<\/p>\n

That evening our new volunteer Gabrielle arrived; she is a landscape artist from Los Angeles, so we\u2019re looking forward to her work on our back garden.<\/p>\n

Before we knew it, it was 6pm and it was Elizabeth\u2019s turn to cook. She made some lovely -and very colourful- stuffed peppers.<\/p>\n
