Any news?

Hi there. It's a while since I posted, and that's because there's been little to report. Here's where we are at present:

1) Support levels. Last report was 20 June at which point we were at 51%. I know it has risen since then, but I don't know how far. I will contact UFM some time next week, because we will need to find new accommodation pretty soon - we expect the house sale to be complete sometime in August. If our support level is nearing 100%, then we will need to rent in Bordeaux. If not, then in Deeside.

2) Admin. We "completed" the form to enrol the children into the school in Pessac. "Completed" isn't quite the word to use - the kids need BCG injections, which are not available in Britain, and they need to have a record of their immunisations, which we will probably have to get officially translated in France for the school.

3) Church. We are busily preparing for the commissioning and induction service on 16th July at the Civic Hall in Connah's Quay.

4) "Disposal of stuff". Our beloved Dandy trailer tent is going to some friends. That is such good news to us. They are seasoned campers (well all the family are campers, and some of them are seasoned), so they will enjoy the luxury of Dandy camping.

5) The children are speaking quite a bit about France now, and in happy terms.

6) Family. One of Pat's nephews got married in Watford last weekend, and that served as a family farewell time for us, too. Pat's brother hopes to be up for the commissioning and induction, as do my sisters.

I'll post again soon - and hopefully then we will know whether August will take us to Bordeaux, or just down the road to another house somewhere!

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...

Good news from my sermon buddy

Yesterday we went over my script from August 13. There really wasn't much she had taken exception to. Once or twice she wondered quite what I was getting at (they had the same problem at Deeside, I think...) and I do have difficulties with the word " de ", but then she said "Who doesn't?" So I felt very encouraged. I also took the opportunity to ask her about one or two things: 1) Direct preaching. Like I used to in Britain, I preach saying you - using "vous" when I am talking to the whole wide world and "tu" when I want it to feel as if I am addressing each person individually. French preachers tend to say rather "What will we do, what will one do". So I asked her if she felt my way was too direct, too brutal for the French ear. She said "I think you can get away with it with your English accent". In fact several people have commented on how much they appreciated being spoken to directly in preaching. 2) Liaisons Last...

A brief sortie to North Wales

 Following the Great Keswick Debacle, when our volunteering at the Keswick café was sabotaged by our assorted indispositions, we had airline tickets to use up. Yes, we had not taken travel insurance, so we paid even more money to change our tickets to fly for a short visit to North Wales. This time we were able to go. We passed extremely slowly through a very crowded Bordeaux airport but in good time to get our plane. All seats in the terminal were taken so we leaned against whatever we could find while waiting to board. Hey, bags need seats, too! though sometimes pointing out to Pat, "No, that's a bag seat", makes the bag find a new refuge on the lap of the person sitting next to it... Once on the plane we quickly found our allocated seats - right at the back on the left hand side - stowed our bags and the flight was smooth and uneventful.  We had 30 minutes in Manchester to disembark, get through immigration , hustle off to the station and board our train for Shotton. I...
