SUMMARY:CSF NEWSLETTER: DECEMBER 2017
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n \nHello Everyone\n\nAn icy blast greeted me this afternoon when I stuck my head outside.  I want to say there wasn’t much to tempt me out of my warm sitting room with its blazing log fire and a delicious wafting of a carrot cake baking in the oven.   \n\nHowever – we should all remember that if the sun is shining and there are still a couple of hours of daylight left\, it’s worth wrapping up and stepping out for a stroll.  We need to catch the last vestiges of Autumn before Winter makes dormice of us all.\n\n\nChristmas Cards will be on sale at our two Drop-Ins this month:\n\nWednesday 6 December   –    Céret    –    10.30-12\nIf you’ve got a bit of Christmas shopping to do\, have a wander around Céret and then pop in and see us at Pablo’s Bar in the Place Pablo Picasso.  Books and DVDs are always available here as well as all the CSF products. \n\nMonday 18 December   –    Laroque    –    10.30-12    \nAt the Café des Artistes there’s always a good turn-over of paperbacks\, English and French.  Also CDs and DVDs. Coffee\, tea and drinks will be available but please note that the kitchen will be closed.\n\nThere’s no Drop-In at Lizzie’s this month.\n\nSunday 10 December      CHRISTMAS MARKET  10 – 5.30 \n\nWe are at the Christmas Market again this year in St Jean Pla de Corts.  You might find the perfect Christmas gift from one of the arts and crafts stalls.  Also Christmas cards and stocking-fillers\, Father Christmas and Christmas Carols.\n\nThere’ll be lots of English products too\, courtesy of Les Chênes British Grocery Products.\nTo avoid disappointment and to take advantage of special offers\, order online  www.les-chenes.eu\nThey will take orders up to lunchtime on Friday 8th December although\, as stocks are limited\, the earlier people order\, the more chance they have of getting what they want.
