Carnaval de Nice

Thursday 21^st February.

I am so cold…..

I am half way through Lyn’s photo book and I am really pleased with the results so far- I hope she will be- we are going to meet up to discuss backgrounds etc.

On another, and probably warmer and sunnier note, Nice (the town in France!!) is holding its ‘Carnaval’ at the present time. It runs from the 15^th Feb to the 6^th March.  This is something I am desperate to go to, my Mum nor my French grandparents never took me as a child - such a shame as it was on their doorstep. The photo is of the Place Massena, a stunning square in Nice, not far from the sea or old town. This is the main area for the parades, which then wind themselves along the edge of the Jardin Albert 1er (where I used to play whilst my grandparents held polite conversations with their friends in the shade) and along the Promenade des Anglais.

In Menton at the moment there is the Lemon festival- something else I am desperate to see.

Oh dear I have waffled…..
