{Toulon & the Mediterranean} |
April in The LPV was a wet and miserable one so when The London's phoned on a Saturday morning and asked if we wanted to head south for some sunnier weather, it was hard to say no.
Bombing down the A51, we were trying to outrun the rain. The further south we got, the less rain clouds there were, and as we arrived, there wasn't a single drop left in the sky.... perfect for our Sunday barbecue plans, but first The Husband got to hangout with Mrs. London and I and see how we like to spend a Saturday evening when it's just us girls (Mr. London was working late in Grenoble and wouldn't arrive home until the wee hours).
That means a bucket of KFC and some Rosé (we're very classy) while we dish about EastEnders and the Real Housewives and try to find the weirdest thing to watch on television (this particular Saturday night included a bizarre docu-show called 'Monsters Inside Me' and Rocky IV). It's how we roll.
The next day The Husband got to shake off the girliness of the night before by cooking meat on a fire while Mrs. London and I continued doing what we do best...
(That bottle of Rosé there is from Cassis and oh my heavens it's delightful.)
Fifty enjoyed his dash down south as well. He likes cruising around town with Mr. London. Look at him up there, thinking he's too cool for school. But most of the time, he's with his cousin Napoleon (Fifty + Napoleon, The Husband + Mr. London, Mrs. London + me... everybody's happy).
Bisou!
Sounds like you had a good day. Keep well Diane
ReplyDeleteBlue ocean. Blue sky. I miss the Mediterranean. Living in the western half of the US, the ocean (Pacific) was always cold. But now that I've met the Mediterranean and have made several trips, it's starting to really grow on me. Boo to the rain!
ReplyDeleteHee hee, bet G was happy when Mr London came home again! Loving the doggie antics :o)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds perfect to me. You are a Housewives fan? Oh my daughter! We must talk.
ReplyDeleteThe view over the shoulders on the deck is stunning.
Aww, Fifty and Napoleon are the cutest. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun trip! Can't wait to hear about the next one! :)
Another fun adventure... sprinkled with tasty rosé wine... sun... great friends... What more could you want?
ReplyDeleteAs for the feisty little white pooch with a superiority complex, what do you expect from a dog named: "Napoleon?" :-)
Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
KFC + Rose = fantastic
ReplyDeleteAnd Napolean - what a cutie! I used to have a similar pup. He and Fifty seem to get along swell!
The picture of fifty and Napoleon is probably one of the cutest things I've seen. I love that Napoleon kicked fifty off his bed! Poor fifty. At least he looks comfy on the small doggy bed!
ReplyDeleteSweet post, sounds like you had a great time. The picture of Napoleon and Fifty is so cute! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteNapoleon carries his name very well!! The art of invading!!! Fifty is SO sweet!!!
ReplyDeleteThat bottle looks especially delightful against the pool water. love it!

Hello. I'm Nikolai.
ReplyDeleteI would like to publish a guest post (with one link) on your great blog - sarainlepetitvillage.com. Could you please give me the price for the placement of it?
Thank you and I look forward to your reply.
Have a nice day.
Hooray for escaping the rain!!! More sunshine ALWAYS! It's so nice having an evening girl-style! The random, entertaining, and ever so fabulous hours spent with some of my girls are my favorite! Looks like a fabulous getaway. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a wonderful time. I need to visit the Côte d'Azur some day!
ReplyDeleteAnd the story of Napoleon first trying to annoy Fifty but then falling asleep right next to him really made me smile. So cute.
Can you please take me with me next time? I am sure I too will get along with you two (Mrs London)!
