Dot gave me a birthday present of a weekend away in Nice & Cannes on the French Riviera - he really does love me, sigh. I'll let our pictures do the talking.
There was food...
...Dot trying very hard not to look like the luxury-yacht-owner really he is,
... palms in Cannes (now you know where Palme d'Or comes from),
...pretty little terasses,
...still water,
...Dot on an ego trip,
...Dot with his flea-market, €5, hundred-year-old reading glasses,
...happy feet (with fat legs),
...happy nostrils,
...French accents,
...lots of loving,
...railway stations,
...le boucher miniature,
...beautiful windows,
...glorious pears,
...views to die for,
...more beautiful windows,
...little toy trains,
...crème brûlée,
...saucy and racy menu presenters,
...more food,
...wise men,
...a bad dye job,
...glamour on the beach,
...glimpses of heaven,
...fruit that looked like it could have been waxed perfect for a photo shoot (may be it was!),
...yours truly, trying very hard to look glam,
...spice markets,
...matrons with canes,
...solitude,
...sex,
...shoes and poodles aplenty,
...the compleat angler,
...forgotten treasures,
....money,
....strawberries,
...streets with no names,
....and then there was the wine.
