We publish a great article by Peter Mayle and also continue our musical journey with a fascinating article by Joseph Nathanson about a young American conductor of the Avignon Symphony and then we whisk you off to Nice to visit its gorgeous Opera House and through the narrow streets of old Nice as we proceed with our personal discovery of this fascinating city. We interview  the very lovely cellist Zela Terry, who has earned the recognition of concert audiences worldwide and meet with drummer Jaren Lamb, who talks to us about his exciting project: writing a musical for Broadway.

Liz Lord will regale us with another enjoyable excursion around the Vésubie valley, Steve Craddock writes about his fantastic trip on the Canal du Midi, while Reverend Anne Naylor talks about another Ceremony of the Heart: Birthdays. Martin Hills continues to treat us with his wonderful "Vive La Différence" pieces along with his book review of Villa Air-Bel by Rosemary Sullivan plus another cryptic crossword.

While we have added a Search function to the website this month, we shall be introducing a couple more updates that I think you'll find really handy.

As usual there will be a few extra surprises and features, so if you've enjoyed our recent offerings, there are more exciting articles to come!
