| As we have done
for the past two years, we drove to France, this time Provence and the Riviera
for two sun- and rain-soaked weeks of fun and adventures. Below are some of our
favourite photos from our trip. Click HERE to
see photos of past trips to France. |
 
As usual, we appreciated the generosity of Elaine and Ken, who let us stay with
them in Hastings before we left for France the next day. |
After dinner, we went to the arcade, where Nick struck gold. |
 |
Our first stop was St-Omer, where we visited the cathedral.
There, a group of school children were learning how to carve stone. After
exploring, we had dinner by the river with a bottle of 1998 wine, special,
because that was the year Nick and George first met.

Next stop,
Dijon, in the Burgundy area of France. We enjoyed our beer at the 'Tavern of
the Bears' before exploring the old town centre.

A decorative arrangement of antiques my mother would have loved. |

This (cute) man at La Compagnie du Cèdre lovingly wrapped the Christmas
ornaments we bought in his shop. The French excel at presentation. |

We tasted and bought bottles of champagne at the source, in the Champagne
region of France. Ooh la la! |

| Didn't do much in Marseille. It was
incredibly windy there (the mistral), and we had a picnic on top of the
hill. |
