“Dear Mum and Dad…we really do wish you were here, the temperature is around 28 degrees and we have been swimming in our own pool today.
Did you know that Lavender is not only an essential oil and used in perfumes but also grown in gardens to ward off any stray mosquitoes? We learn something new every day about the area and it is so relaxing. I have been reading a “Year in Provence” by Peter Mayle, you remember don’t you, John Thaw was in the television series - it is true every word. It's so easy to slip in to the French way of life.
Oh! by the way, did you know that it is the law here that bread has to be baked seven days a week? It really is a wonderful trip in the morning hunting out the breakfast in the charming village of Régusse.
We visited Grasse yesterday - the flower fields and the perfumeries. The whole area smells vibrant and heady with its different smells.
Dad, you have to see Monaco, it is beautiful and breathtaking. We went to the Casino but Jackie Stewart wasn’t there today, never mind perhaps next time. We are driving back through Cap Ferrat; you will remember David Nivan won’t you? Lots of the stars have places here. I believe Roger Moore still has a place outside of Grasse so where going back that way too. I hope we find it. Tonight we're going to the local village to join in the entertainment; I believe tonight it's Elvis!
Tomorrow we are going to the most famous place of all St Tropez. We could go by car but we are told that the best way to see the bay is to go from St. Maxime on the boat that leaves every 30 minutes it avoids the traffic and there are great views as we cross. St Tropez is the place to be seen, all the beautiful people hang out here and by the way apparently there is a nude beach...what about that? We are going to sit on the front and watch the artist paint, and soak up the sun. The private boats are spectacular and I am told very often you can see a celebrity or two.
PS. You must come with us next time, I think I will finish now and relax once again in the pool. They drink ice cold Rose here. See you soon”
What more can we say about summer.
