It looks very much as if summer has bypassed us this year; the dreary and dismal rain seeming to cloud everything in it grey wake. To cheer myself up I spent a moment sorting through happier more sun filled pictures, beautiful memories of our France trip last summer certainly made me smile. The sparkly water fountain in the Normandy sea side town reminded me of a happy day wandering around the pretty streets.
The buildings were colourful and the whole place was alive with the hustle and bustle of a busy market scene, very reminiscent of Cornwall this was a popular haunt of Monet and other impressionist artists towards the end of last century.
We like to think we enhanced the arty vintage vibe by our presence, a lovely thought!
I have such a longing to jump into this cute little car and drive to a sunny courtyard where I can sit in peace with a yummy patisserie and strong coffee.
A beautiful fountain to look at and warm sun would make it perfect.
