Post-weekend

Phew - these weekends, you know ! Anyway things seemed ok at church both Sunday morning and evening. We are in holiday mode now, which means the congregation is much reduced. In the afternoon we walked down to the jardin botanique and along the quay of the right bank, where we'd never been before. It was all very pleasant, including a marquee of Americans happily celebrating independence day. We chatted with one who is visiting Bordeaux for the weekend.

We had a number of visitors on Sunday. Three guys in the morning and one chap in the evening - a holiday-maker from England on a city break. He'd found us on the internet so we told him about all the restaurants that have been recommended to us over the years, though I reckon that most places in Bordeaux are pretty good.

Today began with good news. The Briennens have a house to rent. Just about 200 metres from the church building and it sounds just fine. We also went and looked at a plot of land for building, but it's not big enough for the kind of church building we would need.

Aaah! Le Jardin Botanique in Bordeaux; as a family we have many happy memories of it when the children were young.

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
