First week in December – Not a good weekend to pop across the border!
In the P-O we are usually blessed with a fabulous autumn – for many people here it’s their favourite season. Mountain and vineyard vistas have turned yellow, orange, red. If we’re lucky, rains have refreshed the parched land and refilled our rivers, sometimes to over flowing!
Superb views across the hills and down to the sea.
With Christmas just around the corner, many of us will be starting to think about presents, and while we are all supporting local businesses where we can, it’s likely that we’ll need to do some cross-border posting at some point. Unless you’ve a direct line to Père Noël, things can get pricey.
