A return to Cannes
As we mentioned last week, last month we had a trip ‘down south’ to Cannes. It was a long overdue return to our old church and our friends there, but it also coincided with the 50th anniversary of the church … Continue reading

For everything there is a season
The most important thing first. After four weeks of being in hospital, Chris’ father returned to his residential home, Bushell House and there after a few days, died peacefully of kidney failure. All very sad, although he had been in … Continue reading
Church events
We don’t usually devote a whole post to church events, even though we are heavily involved in Holy Trinity Church Cannes, but this week is the exception. Why? Well first, Chris was officially licensed as a lay reader last Sunday. … Continue reading
Harvest services
Last week we explained at length how we managed to get a high-voltage surge through the house. The repercussions of that have continued throughout the week with the completion of seemingly endless insurance forms and the acquisition of estimates for … Continue reading
