Sad news
We had some sad news yesterday my mother in law, Hildegarde passed away Friday night. She hasn't been well for the last two years but had been well looked after by Beep ( Paulien's sister who is married to my brother ) in Cornwall. She was a colourful character well know to our client/friends as a slightly eccentric Dutch woman doing yoga and interested in all aspects of life with a very open mind. She was probably the least materialistic person I have ever met a sad loss for humanity may she rest in peace.
The boys are all moving on this autumn, Max has finished his 3 year stint at Brest and wants to do a further 2 years at Rennes studing "European law" (exciting stuff ) and Bas passed his bac and has a place at the university at Rennes to do "lange applique " which is doing the languages Spanish and English with some business studies thrown in, so they will be flat huntting as it makes sense to share and is cheaper per head than having single appartments. Xav is off to the lycee in Lannion to do a CEP which is a vocational course and involves an apprentiship in electrics. I hope he isn't colour blind
