Changes ahead in the Chinese group

Until recently the Chinese group was headed up by the Gang of Three, or as I preferred to say, the Three Wise Men : Andy, Sen and YiHua. Yihua finished his PhD and left to do research in Germany. Sen is continuing his PhD but from China. Now Andy will return to his wife in Martinique.

He originally came to Bordeaux four years ago to accompany his daughter as she began her studies. He quickly found the church and took to it as the proverbial duck. He has LOVED his time in Bordeaux and it is clear that he finds it very hard to leave. It won't be easy for us to say goodbye to him, either.

However Andy's daughter is leaving Bordeaux to continue her studies in Hong Kong. Andy's son is studying in Lyon. Andy's wife is running the family business in Martinique. He needs to go back to be with her.

So please pray for the future leadership of the Chinese group. It will mean changes, obviously, but that's normal and as it should be. The only way to avoid change is to die.

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
