John Prescott, the Royals and books on France

A couple of things about our time in Britain while I remember!

Books on France

Well - what a vast pile of books by rich and famous people about how they bought chateaux, farms or moutain retreats in France, to farm, to grow olives, vines, to keep goats, to play the piano with a view, or to putter up and down the canals in a narrow boat collecting recipes.

Now what we need is some experienced Christian workers in France, gifted in writing, (i.e. not me!) to write about real life and the work of the gospel in France.

John Prescott

I confess that I felt quite sorry for the man! The press have really got it in for him, and loads of people reflected that in the way they spoke about him. I've never been a great fan of his - but he is what he is, and what he has always been. The effect of the media feeding-frenzy may even be seen in the sudden volume of comments on this particular entry in the blog!

The Royals

I looked earlier at the Telegraph's photos of the Royal family on holiday on that car ferry in the Western Isles. I don't recognise half of them any more! The photos' captions were missing so I haven't the foggiest idea who the younger contingent were!

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
