ISLAND LUNCH WITH MY NEW BOYFRIEND


Right, after being few days offline we're still in the weekend before last, which was a rather busy one. On Saturday we had lunch in a beautiful restaurant called La Guerite. It's located on Sainte Marguarite island outside Cannes. 


We started off by having a very typically French sharing starter; a basket of vegetables to be enjoyed with a special anchovies dip. I don't like anchovies but I do like veg!


This is what my children ate. Seabass with pasta. Doesn't look that interesting does it... 


But this does! Delicious chilli squid.


Greek salad.


A salmon tartar.


My absolute La Guerite favourite, their octopus salad. Delicious!


The waiters wear the cutest, Frenchest (is that a word?) outfits.


Kids like it there as all the tables are on sand. If you're lunching with little people take a bucket and a spade with you!


Looks like their chicken nuggets were pretty good too!


Right, then onto the main dishes. I have this every time I go there, it's too good to miss. King prawns with chilli.


Someone else's baby chicken, which looked and apparently also tasted lovely.


As a dessert I got a kiss from my little boyfriend. That was definitely the highlight of my lunch!



Off we hopped with tummies full of great food.


We stopped to have a little photo session though! It was still a bit chilly then and a jacket of some sort was needed.


I can't wait to go again! 

You can catch a boat to Sainte Marguarite from Cannes. They run all day long from Laubeuf Quay and take you there in a matter of minutes.

TERRACE WITH A VIEW


I was quite sad to leave London. I even felt quite upset about it during the months and weeks leading to it. However as soon as I landed here I forgot about those feelings... Life here is just so relaxed and laid back. London is extremely hectic, you're always in a rush and never have enough time to do everything you'd like to. I'm sure I'll miss that busyness but right now I feel super happy and lucky to be here. And even better, I have friends here too. 



The view from my friend's terrace is amazing. I didn't manage to get the camera to catch it properly so the pictures do it no justice. Somewhere down there the Cannes Film Festival is in full motion. Fingers crossed this nice weather continues. It seems that year after year the film stars have had rain pouring on their frocks for most part of the Festival but maybe this time they'll be lucky!
