France 2012

the view from the pool...bliss

Just back from a week away with the folks in Flayosc.  Too bad i caught flu just before I left - so spent most of the holiday coughing and spluttering - but somehow it was more bearable lying beside the pool and sipping wine - i wonder why!

fell in love with the neighbour's new house

looks stunning in this crazy Provence light

dinner at local Flayosc restaurant - Le Cigalon - with the folks

yummy mummy!

my swan shaped profiteroles!

my dad and his flaming strawberry creme brulee!

bye bye lovely rose...till next year!

We spent a day in Tour Tour - the beautiful village in the sky - which featured in Day of the Jackal, where we caught an exhibition of now deceased ex-pat resident artist Ronald Searle.  Such a stunning place to visit.

fabulous view

the Town Hall

 

 

a typical Provence fountain

the best view in the village

the door of a local art gallery

a vintage sign at a local cafe

i love this little house - wish i could live here, amongst all the artists

St Deinis church

so peaceful inside

 

i've never seen these before...gaudy but beautiful ceramic flowers

 

really rather lovely.

probably the best final resting place in the world
