With only just over a week to go before our first event of the season, Janet Bolton's ever-popular five day workshop, Narrative Stitches,  (6th-12th May), one of the participants has had to drop out due to ill-health and a place has become available for someone fast on their feet.  If you're travelling from the UK, Ryanair flights are still remarkably cheap, as are some of the last minute booked flights from the US and Australia; so if you think you might be able to act quickly, we are offering a huge £400 discount on the regular price of £2050 ($3000) for a standard room, inclusive of everything except your travel to France and spending money! 
 
  
Last year with Janet Bolton at Les Soeurs Anglaises
 
And in case we've never mentioned it before, May is THE best time of year dans les jardins de Les Soeurs Anglaises.  With south west France exploding with late spring promise, we have over 60 peony plants all about to burst into flower; the many wisterias blooms are just a little ahead of them as are some of the magnolias.  Fresh organic vegetables are already available and the swimming pools will be open and should be warm enough to take a dip.

In our experience, last minute breaks are often the most exciting and rewarding, especially with a teacher of Janet's calibre, and Carol our transport coordinator would be happy to help in any way she can with travel arrangements.
 


If you are interested in joining us for this event, contact us as soon as possible.
