Barbara’s Wedding:
The Colonel is in his dotage, and as his memory fades, past and present become intertwined.
He is visited by his beloved grandson and the young man’s fiancée, Barbara.
But are they really there? And who is it exactly that Barbara is marrying?
A Well-Remembered Voice:
A couple have lost their son in the trenches. The young man’s mother tries to speak to him through a séance, while his father simply reminisces, by himself. And yet in the process it is Mr Don, and not his wife, who is finally able to talk to their son, in a way he never could when the boy was alive.

Victoria Lewis, one of Spectrum’s advisers in the South of France and Paris, was recently nominated to participate at a TED event (www.ted.com) in Grenoble.
“It was an honor and a privilege to be nominated as a Speaker by TED, especially when I discovered one of the other speakers was a Nobel Prize winner! I was asked to speak about the global pension situation and the problems faced today by those people wishing to retire early.”

“TED imposes strict rules on the talk format and each presenter must speaker for 18 minutes. There was an international audience of 300 people, many of whom were executives from international companies, entrepreneurs, scientists and university undergraduates. Fortunately, there was time during the event to answer specific questions from the audience and it was clear that most people had a real interest in improving their financial well-being. “
What’s TED?
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to ‘Ideas Worth Spreading’. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support world-changing ideas. The annual TED Conference invites the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak and their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com.

What if you didn’t have to wait until you were in your mid-sixties to retire? What about 50, or even just as you hit your 40th birthday? Don’t laugh — with enough dedication, you could say goodbye to your full-time job years sooner than you think.
“We all dream of retiring early with a fantastic pension and no money worries,” said Victoria Lewis, a financial adviser with the Spectrum IFA Group in Paris, France. You just have to put the right plan in place.

As the year draws to a close, holidays begin marching past in quick succession. These festivities present almost endless chances to open your wallet. Christmas is a weeks-long spending affair in many places in December.
In France, “some go skiing, and a lucky few travel overseas for warmer climates, such as Martinique and Guadalupe,” said Victoria Lewis, a financial adviser with The Spectrum IFA Group in Paris.
