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!

We used to live near Newmarket and enjoyed going to the races very much. Our nearest racecourse here is at Arnac Pompadour, just an hour away. What a stunning course, overlooked by the beautiful chateau. What's even better is that it's only about £6 to get in, what a treat! If you fancy going, we have one week free in our gite, from 2nd to 9th August. Otherwise, you will have to wait until next year! 😎

Happy Easter folks sorry couldn't resist the typo, from a soggy, wet and windy Dordogne. Does mean however, that the garden should be nice and green for our first guests of the season! 😊

So, in the UK, when you're tucking into your hot cross buns or Simnel cake, spare a thought that there is no traditional Easter dessert in France. People usually dig into the chocolate treats, but it’s customary to also serve the first strawberries of the season or make a nest-shaped cake. What is important is that it be appetising and colourful!

Meanwhile, remember making those chocolate cornflake nests?

As it's World Art Day, I wanted to mention a few notables from our region. The Impressionist Pierre August Renoire was born in Limoges in 1841, (think ballerinas). The landscape painter Camille Corot had a studio hut known as Site Corot, just outside Saint Junien. Finally, the Belle Époque caricaturist George Goursat, known as SEM, was born in Perigueux in 1863. He mixed in high circles and produced images of famous people including Chanels first advert for her new perfume No 5. Unlike the first two, you can sometimes find original and affordable artwork by SEM.

Global superstar Josephine Baker died 50 years ago. She was born into poverty in Saint Louis, US, in 1906 as Freda Josephine McDonald! She arrived in Paris as a 19-year-old and soon became the toast of the music halls due to her unique style of dancing. Josephine then became a silent film star and added singing to her repertoire. After the N**i occupation of France began, she joined the resistance and the rest is history as well as her fight for civil rights back in the USA. Dressed by Balmain after the war, this iconic lady became the first black woman, American-born French citizen, and entertainer to join 79 other exceptional French characters in the Panthéon in Paris. But did you know she bought Chateau Milandes in the South Dordogne, where she lived and which you can visit today to learn more about this exceptional lady!

Went to a bakery just up the road from us this morning in Chalus, and there were loads of these on sale, small plain versions or covered in sugar, and giant versions off each too! I expect they may be to do with religion, but my warped mind thought they looked a bit erm...if anyone knows what the shape really represents please enlighten! 😄

This is one of my favourite views of the Miallet Barrage. All you can hear are birds and the occasional bee flitting by. It is so peaceful!

Basking in 24 degrees today at the monthly brocante in Verteiillac. Ended up buying a brass Edwardian curtain rail and an Edwardian rattan deckchair, all for the grand sum of 68 quid! ☺️
