It’s already a month since the first Top Up Your French session took place on board the Côte d’Albâtre.  A steadily increasing number of passengers are joining me around the captain’s table with especially more children now that the school holidays have started.  How lovely to hear their laughter and their first attempt at ordering a meal in French! 

I hope you were able to listen to the interview on BH, the Sunday morning Radio 4 program.  The BBC South East Today team will join me on Thursday 14^th of August and I am told their report will appear in the evening program. 

We’ll soon have a link from the Transmanche LD Lines home page.  This is excellent news and I am sure it will bring more people to the sessions.

The Top Up Your French sessions are an essential part of the cosmofil concept.  Helping people to communicate in the language of the country they are visiting is the first step towards a better understanding of different cultures.  This is the message I want to put through to MEP Sharon Bowles when we talk this week.  I am a passionate European and I believe cosmofil can help promote Europe in the UK.

Best cosmofil wishes
