Southern France, A Year (or two) in Photos

We have just said goodbye to 2011, I thought I would post some of my favourite snaps of the year, all taken with my compact digital camera, soon I will be in possession of an all singing, all dancing brand new, shiny, digital SLR,  I am hoping my photography will improve, especially my interior shots, I may even really push the boat out and take some photos of people!

Bliss. Peace, quiet and a newspaper, Biarritz, early April

No, not spring lambs, I snapped these bow legged Pyrenean cuties in mid November

Our neighbours house, I have always coveted the daisies growing out of the wall.

My, what big eyes you have!

Nautical, on the street, Sanary.

No collection of pictures would be complete without His Nibbs

Oh dear I meant to post this yesterday.  Our New Years Eve started off with six of us supping wine and Champagne at the home of some very close friends, then we went to a party where we consumed more wine and Champagne, there are holes in the evening, I can't seem to remember the countdown and all the kissing. We were the last to leave the party (again!) and went back to our friends, where the six of us drank even more, I seem to remember taking turns to put music on the stereo, lots of falling over dancing, occasionally on the kitchen table.

  I was woken up yesterday morning, by our friends dog licking my face, I was cocooned in a duvet, still fully dressed in the finery from the evening before, lying on their sitting room floor, MG was sprawled on the sofa, we felt dreadful.  After tea and ibuprofen, we came home where I adopted the recovery position on the sofa for the rest of the day, which was spent drifting in and out of sleep, whilst trying to watch films, with occasional forays into the kitchen for cups of tea, Bloody Mary's, sausage sandwiches and fruit.

I am feeling much better today, although a little achy, must have been all those nifty dance moves on the kitchen table. The detox will have to wait until next week!

I would like to thank you all for your support and wonderful comments in 2010.   Hope you all had a wonderful New Years Eve and I wish you all the best for 2011.
