Hello everyone!
Well, I have now been working hard at Eau Vive for a week - it is the Christian holiday/retreat centre in Provence where I spent 5 weeks last summer. I'm working as a kitchen slave under Cyrille, the chef. I mostly end up chopping tomatoes, peeling potatoes and washing salads, but its good fun, as we have the radio on at the same time, so we can bop along to Nostalgie - a local radio station which plays cheesy classics. I will be here (and enjoying the good weather and the swimming pool) until the middle of September, but I am leaving for a week on Monday to do a music course in Nice.
The weather has been lovely and very hot so far - apart from a small blip yesterday afternoon. We have a group here at the moment of about 50 people, which means that we have a pretty much full house. Some of the people here are the same as last year, which is interesting. There are also a few people on the team here who I worked here with last year, so it is good fun to see them as well. It was like coming home when I got here last Friday! There are also some new people on the team here, including two girls who have just finished their first year at Durham. I symphasised with them for being in St Aidan's college though.
The other night, I had to do a 45 minute presentation in French about my time in Russia - it was a challenge, and I think my French was absolutely appalling, but the main thing is that I did it, and people seemed to be interested. They liked the photos anyway.
Right, I can't think of much else to say, so I think I will leave it there for the moment, although I will try to add some photos later.
Lots of love

My brother might want to have some words with you for dissing St Aidan's. Glad to see that you are enjoying your summer and hope to see you some time after you get back.
