Cannes Film Festival


This is the busiest time of year in this part of the world. In Monaco, we have the Grand Prix and in Cannes (just along the coast) the Cannes film festival. 

This is the famous red carpet at the Palais de Festival - as you see Ingrid Bergman is the icon on this year's poster. (taken in the afternoon, before the stars arrived!)

It was the best fun going to Cannes yesterday with my friend, Sylvie.  In Cannes,  everyone has a camera and everyone wants to be photographed!

Nicky and Mojo


This is my lovely friend Nicky Fraser with her French bulldog Mojo He's doing his best to do what he wants to do and not what Nicky wants him to do!

Nicky, who lives in Monaco, is a very talented lady.  She's an Aromatherapist, a Feng Shui consultant and a Chinese Astrologer. You can find Nicky on her FACEBOOK page.

Anti-Age


Last week there was an anti-aging and cosmetic surgery conference at the Grimaldi forum.  You couldn't find a place in a car park and restaurants were full, delegates everywhere with name tags around their necks... and selfies galore.

Lamb shank at the Baobab


The food at the Baobab on Larvotto Beach is always freshly cooked with a menu that changes every day.

This is a 'souris d'agneau' which could be confusing as 'souris' means 'mouse' in French but when followed by 'd'agneau' then it's a 'lamb shank.'  It was served with squashed potatoes (not mashed) and gravy. Yet another of the delicious dishes served by talented chef, François.

Baobab on Larvotto


The Baobab is one of my favourite restaurants in Monaco.  You'll eat great fresh food (the menu changes daily) cooked by chef François, who - by the way - is a superb photographer. 

There's not much wrong in life when you are sitting in the sunshine, overlooking Larvotto beach, drinking wine and eating lunch at the Baobab.

And it's not just the beach that is good-looking. Here are two of the beautiful servers. Meet Sonia on the left, and Vaitiare on the right (that's a Tahitian name, by the way).  Thanks for the photo, girls! x
