After we saw the UK weather on Spotlight South West last night I know most of you are going to hate us now having arrived on the Mediterranean coast here on the Hyeres Peninsula on the Cote d'Azur. Its out with the shorts and sun cream today as we soak up the first proper sun and that lovely warm breeze.
The last few days have seen us finally push over the Alps and descend down to the warmer shores. Life is certainly different here and the first thing we noticed is how much busier it is, we actually queue at traffic lights now!. We are next to a busy port where ships take hundreds of day visitors out each day to the Hyeres Islands. We are getting near two of our friends who used to live in the UK (Judith & Andrew) and are planning a visit soon over a few glasses of local wine no doubt (Coffee can become so boring!).
Bradley has a lot of his winter fur so tomorrow its out with his clippers to make sure he stays cool. I might even give my newly formed 'goatee' a trim as well!. Lorraine hasn't grown anything extra yet (not that I have noticed!).
Eating is getting even more mediterranean with lots of olive oil and other delicacies to savour. Our campsite seems to be full of Italians and the smells of their cooking waft through the air towards us every so often. It won't be long now before we head towards the Italian border and onto another stage of the adventure...
Au revoir
