KellyHello,
Kas here, last month for me has been again fairly hectic. I have been singing at Whitstable sea front, I was lucky it stopped raining!! It was a wonderful view though. It was the first time they held this event, Classic car
and next year the castle renovations at Whitstable should be completed? and it will be there with military vehicles as well.

De Fil en Aiguille

by Wendy Wise - Facilitutors
If like me you’ve seen the phrase “ De fil en aiguille” and just thought it’s something to do with needles and thread but never quite got round to looking it up, let me enlighten you, it means: one thing, eventually leads to another.   So we’ll start with the “fil” or thread and see where it takes us.  

Mont Saint Michel Story Part 4

The Old Houses
Mont St MichelThe town houses of Mont-St-Michel with originally all constructed of timber- frames, but during the late 19th century and the Belle Epoch era most were torn down and replaced by much more comfortable dwelling places, although the original land divisions were adhered to. A beautiful stone and timbered building clinging to the town ramparts and constructed on corbels, facing the Kings Gate is known as the house of the Arches. In times gone by this lovely building once housed a part of the town’s garrison.

Foreign Currency Exchange

by Judy Mansfield First Rate FX
Judy Mansfield - First Rate FXBonjour!
A quick article this time, as I have been on study leave for much of the last month.  I’m doing a Marketing diploma with the Open University, and as it has been some years since I did anything academic, it has taken up a great deal of my time.  Much of this time has been researching the growth of social media and its impact on business generally.  Briefly, the impact is huge – Twitter, FaceBook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Ecademy and so on.  It is now virtually essential that your business is registered on all these sites.
