CSF NEWSLETTER: DECEMBER 2016

Hello Everyone
I was in Paris last weekend and there were beautiful bright yellow carpets of leaves in the parks.
Beauty unsurpassed I thought until I came back and saw this!
The other day I thought the Forsythia had been fooled by the warm weather and had started to display its flowers. A close inspection revealed a bush of tiny leaves of pure yellow – if I knew its name I’d tell you. You’ll have to be quick but if you find yourself driving down one of those tree-lined avenues where the plane trees are majestically showing off their autumn foliage and Canigou is sitting white and snow-capped against a steel-grey and blue sky – drink it in. When you come back next week the scene may have changed.
CHRISTMAS CARDS
Our new CHRISTMAS CARDS will be on sale at the Drop Ins and at the Christmas Market. If you’re not able to come to either of these, do have a look at our website and email your order to Penny sud-president@cancersupportfrance.org.
