Trip to Menton

What a wonderful place this is. Its actually in Monaco, though most people assume its in Provence - and just a hop from the Italian border, and with a very Italian feel. The old town winds up and down the hill with tiny narrow streets and brightly coloured houses.

France 2008

So now here I am in 2008, happily ensconced in the Languedoc region of SW France. Life is great here - very simple really and much less social than Sydney, so plenty of time to smell the roses -explore the area, sketch and paint etc. Peter and I (and Miura the dog) are living in the town of Montagnac, not far from Pezenas, and 20 mins drive from the Mediterranean towns of Sete and Meze. It is also only 40 mins from Montpellier.

We spent the first few months of the year setting up house and falling into a relaxed routine, before heading off on yet another soujuorn across Europe to Greece. So here we go again....
