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!
