My World


This was definitely a Wednesday afternoon because the sailing schools are always out in force then with their brightly coloured sails.
In France all schools are closed on Wednesday afternoons leaving pupils to choose an activity to follow. There's lots of different things on offer but as we live so near the sea water sports are always popular.

There are lots of beautiful My World photos to see by following the links on the My World site.

Sunday Mornings 1


So what does Sunday morning mean to you? Me, I slop around in night clothes, email the family, read a newspaper, have a leisurely breakfast and eventually work up enough energy to walk the dogs. This morning, however, I actually got up, dressed and headed into town to see how the average Nicois spends his down time and was stunned to discover half the city out and about and engaged in all sorts of physical activities: jogging, walking, cycling and sailing. It was so inspirational I just had to find a bench to sit on while I recorded it all...Anyway I'll show what I saw over the next few days.
This photo came with a bonus: you can just catch sight of the airport runway sticking out into the sea behind the yacht. It's almost touching down in the water that makes landing in Nice such a special start to a visit here.
