Client Testimonials

"During his six years working for St Helens Council Education Department, Paul was, among other things, our in-house "languages expert", doing the translating, interpreting and liaison with our twin towns in Chalon-Sur-Saône, France, Stuttgart, Germany and El Prat de Llobregat, Spain. His participation has enabled us to maintain strong links with all three towns, particularly in the field of education, where he set up and managed a very successful work experience programme for sixth formers"
Brian Mainwaring, Director of Education, St Helens Council, August 1995

On the Abbey Road .....

We’ve been to two abbeys this year. One in South Germany and the other in South Wales.

 

The German abbey was the Kloster in Maulbronn. We were married there in July. The Welsh one was the ruined Tintern Abbey in Monmouthshire. We visited it last week during a visit to the UK.

We’d visited the Maulbronner Kloster many times as Frau W lived in the town for many years before emigrating to Spain and still has many friends there.  We decided it would be just the right spot for our Church marriage.

An interesting fact about the Kloster Hermann Hesse, author of Steppenwolf, was expelled from the Klosterschule there.

An interesting fact about Tintern Abbey – it was the first Cistercian Monks colony in Wales.
