Month: June 2012

A Sunday in Bordeaux

It was good to be in Bordeaux once again to preach in the local Reformed Evangelical church. I preached twice, first in French, then in English. One of the nice things was to get specific feedback on the message, with a few people coming to chat after the service to speak about the sermon.

I was hosted once again by Christophe and Elena and their two daughters. They gave me a warm welcome and it was great to get to know them better.

I travelled back on Monday and read for most of the journey.

Building works in the garden

When we moved house, our landlord promised he would have a small wall built in front of the house, to put a limit between the garden and the street. A few months later, someone turned up, started digging a foundation, left a mess and never came back. We didn’t hear anything about it until a couple of months ago when our landlord turned up with a builder.

Today, as I was coming back from the market, I found two men working with a mini-digger, digging a foundation for a wall.
