Waiting For The Finale Of Succession, Season 2 : Addictive Viewing

I’ll make this short and sweet. Have you been watching HBO’s Succession? I’ve fallen head over heels for this awful dysfunctional media family modelled on the Murdochs, Redstones and probably a little of the Trumps. It’s a show that’s hard to describe but it’s a […]

October and November Favourites and Musings

Sometimes I feel like time is whirling by so quickly that I just can’t get a grip and in my lower moments often need to remind myself that today is the best I’m ever going to be. I’ve had the occasional sleepless night reading about […]

June / July Favourites : Summer Is Here

July Favourites : Summer Is Here

Summer is racing by and I’m dying to enjoy every moment before it passes through and is gone in a puff of smoke. The town I live in is now absolutely heaving with people and even though I love the added energy the traffic is […]

May Favourites : It’s Heating Up

One thing about posting favourites for the month is that it illustrates just how quickly the year is whizzing by. May has seen the tourists start to arrive in Sainte Maxime and it’s definitely heating up but still fairly mild. That’s a good thing. If […]
