And next week is the end of May - so much to do before then!
Last Friday we headed to the Cote D'Azur with friends Geoff & Wendy. We stayed in Bormes Les Mimosas, a delightful perched village with views of the Mediterranean.
We also visited St Tropez where we had cocktails at La Quai, one of the trendiest bars on the strip.

On Saturday we spent the afternoon on the beach at Six four plage, a really unspolit part of the Cote D'Azur before dining at our 'very French Hotel'- pictured.
On Sunday we stopped for lunch at a lovely seafood restaurant in Bandol, quite a lively resort where there was a huge exhibition of English sports cars. Of course most of the exhibitors were more interested in there picnics and wine than the cars but thats the French for you!(note the man in the picture)
The eating and drinking continued Monday with wine tasting followed by a bbq and the opportunity to consume our tested wines!
In an effort to walk off some of the excesses we walked 'up the to chateau' in our village on Tuesday morning, and after a stroll around the market had to retreat from the heat to the bar, followed by lunch by the pool and of course a cooling swim - although not so cool - the water is now at 28 degrees!
Well after Geoff & Wendy departed its back to work for us before our next visitor in a fortnight.We are trying to complete the painting of the shutters as Simon endeavors to complete the rendering, despite temperatures now in the early 30's.
The Olive trees are due to be removed and replanted on Friday so work will soon commence on the land. Watch this space!
