Ramblings of a retiree in France
Happy Easter
As my beloved has become more mobile we’ve been out and about for short walks over the Easter long week-end, enjoying the warm sunny weather and wonderful scenery. April, with its heady mix of sunshine and showers, encourages the place to spring into vibrant colour. The trees are every shade of green, the bushes are blossoming, the birds are canoodling, summer can’t be too far away.
On one of our walks, we were admiring the floating palaces in Antibes, the largest concentration of man caves in the Mediterranean. Most seemingly lie idle, the only sounds of activity are from workmen readying them for the start of the chartering season, the Cannes Film Festival.
Today we strolled alongside the beach in Cros de Cagnes, a former fishing village, where the boats are rather more utilitarian than the shiny beauties we saw yesterday. It was good to feel the sunshine on our faces.
I hope you’re having an enjoyable holiday week-end too.
Indeed at times I am sure summer is here till suddenly it grows chilly all over again and I go, ‘uh oh’. Your Easter weekend looks like it was lovely. Beautiful photos those. Cheers.

Thanks but April here tends to be a mixture of sunshine and much needed rain to help everything grow so wonderfully well.
