Flying down to Monte...




So tomorrow lunchtime the two of us plus my parents are flying down to the South of France....picking up a sailing ship (a real one, with billowing white sails!) in Cannes...and taking a week to visit some of the beautiful ports and places along the French & Italian coast...

Our first destination is Monaco - the luxurious state you see in the photograph. I'm so looking forward to it all....to visiting some of the most gorgeous destinations on the Mediterranean, and being on such an amazing ship...and spending some proper, relaxing time with my family. I'm taking my camera, of course...so I'll be able to share it all with you when I return.

And (as I'm sure you're wondering!) Alice will be well looked after here....we have good friends moving in so that she'll be looked after in her own home, and China will be staying as well!

Enjoy your week, I can't wait to tell you everything!

xoxo

  1. Oh my gosh.......how exciting!! I know you will just have a 'fabulous' time and can't wait to see all your pictures. I know it will be just like being there! Tom's cousin has an apartment that over looks the Mediterranean Sea. We always thought it would be such fun to go there. But for now I will enjoy your pictures:)

    Blessings to you and your familly & have a safe trip.

  6. Rachel dear, You're doing what my cousin Paul Lovejoy has described. He keeps a sailboat down there and uses it frequently.

    Can't wait to hear about your adventures. We all KNEW that your Alice would be well cared for. I got a chance to visit with Alice's look alike yesterday at an antique shop in Edmond, Oklahoma. Her name was Jazzy (Jasmine Shamrock), and she was quite a country lady.

    Sue and Joe are ensconced now as I'm sure you know. Can't wait to catch up with them and see them. Are you going to come out?

    We have four more weeks to go until Maine. Lots of work along the way, but finally, the joy of walking into our cottage, my favorite place on earth.

    Lots of catching up to do, but until then,

    Love,

    Sharon
