It's now July. School's out and many French have started their holidays. Lamastre has filled with people and the Tuesday market is crowded. We hope it's a good season so people here can keep things going economically.
We've already had my cousins to visit. And Ruth, our SIM Australian missionary friend has had 10 days holiday here. Our special friends, the Fidlers, left yesterday and we now inherit their house, which will become the pastor's manse. Friday my brother James arrives with his wife, Debbie, and 2 children, Hudson and Amelia.
Marc finished school first and started work picking cherries. It's a 5 am wake up call to start work at 6 am until 12 noon. He was joined by Luc at the beginning of this week. Luc has now finished his 4 week's work experience in a Fiat garage, had a rugby weekend where he got very sunburned and is now trying to catch up on his brother's number of buckets of cherries, while keeping tabs on the Tour de France every afternoon !
And our young Claire has now completed her Primary school education and is a young lady. I promised her months ago that she could get her ears pierced when she finished her school year. It's done.
I MAY NOT WRITE VERY OFTEN OVER THIS HOLIDAY PERIOD. WE HAVE VISITS AND SOME HOLIDAY TIME. WE ARE BOTH VERY TIRED AND NEED CATCH UP TIME. WE ALSO HAVE TO REDECORATE THE HOUSE AND MOVE IN OVER AUGUST.
Take care all of you. Keep in touch.
