Well Alan, I really do think you could do with a helicopter!All these transport difficulties getting accross town to do the Lord's work. Perhaps we should get an appeal going. I know - that video of your family having to use bikes to get around! Ah, no they did look very comfortable and serene on them. Joking aside, it is really quite sad that folk are being duped to part with hard earned money to 'feather someone else's nest'. Why can't people think through issues for themselves?

Our use of money is always a challenge to me at this time of year, which reminds me, I must go Christmas shopping soon! Can we start a forum on 'How not to spend as much money at Christmas!'? I would love to know how other Christians make this time of year meaningful.

At our farewell service in Deeside Stuart Olyott preached on Acts 20:35 - "It is more blessed to give than to receive".

(And not on verse 25, as I misremembered the other day. Verse 25 says "Now I know that none of you will ever see my face again...")

A bit about music exams in UK and France

They're really different. I think I have already mentioned that while in the UK people generally find a private teacher for their instrument, or do it through a school scheme, here there are municipal music school, conservatoires and so on. The situation is a little more complex than I had first understood, because the schools vary in the rigidity of their organisation: the most, the conservatoires, next the municipals, then the associations. Our music school is an association, but it tends to apply the standards of the municipal schools with its programme of cycles, etc. Britain - grade 1 to 8, grade 8 being roughly equivalent to A-level, pre university/conservatoire. France - 3 cycles, each taking about 4 years, with 3ème cycle being roughly equivalent to grade 8. Theory of music - UK to take grade 8 you need theory grade 5. In France you study theory alongside your instrumental studies, very slowly. Catrin's flute music is MUCH more difficult than the stuff she does in theor

The Kitchen

 Our new apartment will be equipped with toilet and bathroom etc. but not with anything at all in the kitchen. Not even a sink. So we need to purchase a kitchen and engage a kitchen fitter. A friend who knows how to fit kitchens suggested buying an Ikea kitchen. "They're guaranteed twenty years and they honour their guarantee", he said. "I've proved it". Well I don't know any other kitchen laces in France, and I can't imagine there's much that's cheaper than Ikea, so I was happy to accept his advice. So it was that on Monday I booked an appointment with the Ikea Kitchen Planning Service in the centre of Bordeaux. The woman was friendly. "You've already started the process", she said, (have we?) "so that will save us lots of time". "What are you aiming for?" Something not too country, something discreet, something that can adapt to whatever colours we put in the rest of the room. She understood our dislike of
