A good weekend
Lots of visitors on Sunday morning, including some students visiting from Ireland - one who's lived in France for 20 years, another who's South African. A chap who seems to be settling with us. A couple of Dutch girls camping somewhere nearby, who found us via the blog (very good to meet you).
In the evening we were few, but we were quality, including a visitor from Tennessee! Gwilym made his debut as accompanist having learnt "In Christ alone" and "All my days" on the guitar - he played my old 12-string (battered but with a really good action !)
We spent the afternoon with friends from church. Their lad, Gwilym's age, is about to start an apprenticeship as a boulanger. He'll work 5 till 10, seven days a week for six weeks out of eight, then be in school for two weeks. They've had to get him a scooter so he can get to work for 5 because there's no buses at that time of the morning. He'll be paid while he's an apprentice - about half the minimum wage, so he'll be able to pay for his petrol, for his schooling and pay off his scooter. He's 14. He's a gamin, a gosse, but he's going to grow up fast over the next few years.
