Faves

Today with the weather all gorgeous and summery I'm dreaming of our last summer holiday. In August last year we had the best summer holiday of our lives...well hopefully the kids will go on to have many more wonderful memorable holidays...but for Matthew and I it was the bestest ever! 

The Cote d'Azur...French Riviera : does it get any better?

enjoying dinner with a view to the Cote d'Azur...lucky little devils!

view from our apartment 
happy as

the marina in Cannes

the closest thing we got to boating in Cannes! 

on THE red carpet... oh  my !!! 

hello little french macaroons...oui oui! 

the stunning Esterels 

the kids swimming in the Mediterranean in Monaco...as you do ; ) 

bliss, bliss, bliss....pure bliss 


the best summer holiday ever



ps...having said it was the best summer holiday ever, I am really, really looking forward to spending time on the NSW Cote d'Azur...perhaps a little holiday at Nelson Bay for us this summer would go down a treat. Yes, yes I think it would. xx

this is spectacular. you know how much i love seeing photos of your holiday. what a gorgeous place. just like in the magazines! and nelson bay, not far from where i live. we often go there for a sunday drive and have lunch. beautiful. you can also head to many of the beaches around there that are not heavily populated. it makes you feel so good.

she is a pretty amazing lady. i have her book and wasn't sure if you had a copy. happy to send it your way if you like for a read. i would love to go along to one of her talks one day. i am definitely following this through as penny gets older. have a lovely weekend. i am off to have a cuppa. looks like we may get some rain. the boys will be disappointed. they are off to the go kart track (like most weekends) - they are in a club and love it!

Yes another beautiful place on earth I feel so proud that it is "home" for me :) So funny and timely that I just fell in love with the NSW coast and Sydney :) "Les grands esprits se rencontrent... we say"OH we missed Nelson Bay...hmmm we missed quite a lot so we will have to do that beautiful trip again!
PS: Thanks for your sweet and wise words...good idea!

Sandrine, I love your French saying, so true! And I'm thinking that our version of the Cote d'Azur won't be the same as the beautiful French one, but ..as they say...c'est la vie!! I have wonderful memories. xx
