Well that was quite a nice Sunday
Pat is still struggling with what we have decided is "a heavy swine cold", so I left her laid out on the sofa. The English Patient was being collected to go to church at Cenon. He had planned to cycle or cycle/tram but after a storm on Saturday night it was chucking it down. I hurtled off to Anglade and got there in good time and the booklets I'd printed with hymns and readings in seemed to work pretty well. We were about a dozen.
The English Patient ate with the students and came along to the International service. After our BUMPER WEEK last week we were back in the teens, but what we lacked in quantity we made up in quality. Didier, a new regular, found out that the papa of one holiday-maker family is a rector somewhere. Ah !
Reminds me of a chap who used to come to Deeside every couple of years. He came back for coffee after the evening service.
"So what do you do ?"
"I'm a Christian minister."
"Oh, is that in a church, or in a mission situation...?"
After some prolonged evasion he eventually said...
"I'm the Bishop of North-West Australia."
We became good friends, though we never got to North West Australia to visit them !
Anyway, back to Bordeaux International; much discussion ensued after the service and we eventually left the building some time after 10pm.
Today we collect the children from Mos Eisley Skyport near Bergerac, and the English Patient will have to camp in the church or sleep on his roll-out mat under the dining table.
