The bang of the volleyball

Volleyball on Larvotto Beach.That ball makes a helluva bang when it hits the wire netting - especially if you are standing right there and taking a photo!

Larvotto

Larvotto Beach is not just for the rich and famous to sunbathe.  (Well, actually it's more likely to be the locals as the tourists don't always find Larvotto.) Here you can play volley-ball, there's a gym, you can waterski.  The kids in the centre of the photo are taking off on surfboards. Not sure what they are doing though as there are no waves!

Cannes Film Festival 2015

At the Cannes Film Festival, crowds gather at the entrance to every hotel hoping for a glimpse of someone famous in the film industry.  Is she or isn't she? Probably not but she enjoys playing the part ...

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.
