As there’s been some interest in the Coronation Street star, I’ve decided to run a competition to guess who he is. The prize will be a postcard. Yes, I will purchase a pretty postcard and make my way to a post office and ask, in French, for an airmail stamp and post [...]

By 5pm it was nice and cool in Nice! So off I went to the old town. As I said previously Nice was built by the Italians and styled on Torino so there would have to be porticos, wouldn’t there? There are!
And winding little streets and lane ways and little restaurants and [...]

It’s really hot out so I’m waiting until later to go visit the old town of Nice. Also, I’ve been bitten by mosquitos and my legs are itchy so any excuse not to walk around is fine by me at the moment!
This morning I went for a walk on the promenade by [...]

We arrived in Nice yesterday afternoon and I needed a drink to settle my nerves. So I had a capachino. I haven’t drunk real coffee for about 5 years but I thought it might help.
We had driven for two hours through tunnels and over roads on stilts. The tunnels were fine but [...]

In a previous post I said there were no soft cushions in this apartment, well I just found one! And a cozy red blanket. And I am sitting out on the balcony all wrapped up at 8am. The sun is shining but it’s still cool here in the shade. I can hear [...]

I got up early yesterday morning and after posting my blogs, I was hungry for breakfast but we had no food :-(. Never mind, I’d go out into the wide world. So I headed down the street.
We’re not in the centre of Torino, we’re in the suburbs. The street we’re staying on [...]

Well, we finally made it to Torino (the Italian for Turin). It was a long and tiring journey across the Alps and “through” some of them! The tunnels are long, one lasted 20 minutes, and are a little boring for a pillion passenger who can only see to her left and her [...]

The first day I left the house and went into the town of Munster I took a key for the front door. But after a couple of more outings I realised the front door is never shut during the day (I’m not sure it’s shut at night either!). Didn’t we used to [...]

One Christmas when Ciara was little she wanted a farm set so Santa brought her one. It was made by Play Mobil, which I just think must be a French company. The farm was part construction toy and part make-believe toy. But since Ciara wasn’t interested in construction the job of putting [...]

On Tuesday it was raining in the morning but I wanted to get bread and croissants so I put on my rain mac and went to see Munster. It’s not very far to the shops and restaurants (as per our priorities) but there are lots of little streets to cross. I hadn’t gone [...]
