Perpignan Post: June 2014
http://perpignan-post.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 15 June 2014. Wimbledon here I come! The ‘twilight’ zone continues here, as last week I found myself playing in the semi-finals of the Men’s Doubles in the village tennis tournament! I was amazed that they had found another woman in the village who played tennis but ‘Dominique’ turned out to be the man who runs the local wine shop! We won the first round without playing as luckily (for us) one of the opposition team had broken an ankle, so on the Thursday night we played our first match. We were ...

Perpignan Post: February 2014
http://perpignan-post.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 9 February 2014. Pictures from the Pyrénées-Orientales. The weather was so beautiful here yesterday that I was inspired to take my camera out on one of our walks. So for this blog entry, instead of being a long ‘ramble’ about nothing in particular, here are some pictures taken on our long ramble. The Vineyard at the bottom of the garden – hard to believe there will be grapes to be picked in 6 month’s time. Mimosa – not just a cocktail! At least the dog was happy with the extra 30 minutes! Having ...

Perpignan Post: Santé!
http://perpignan-post.blogspot.com/2015/05/sante.html
Thursday, 7 May 2015. It comes as no surprise that the traditional salutation when raising a glass with anybody here is not. 8216;Cheers’ or ‘Bottoms-up’, but ‘Santé’ – meaning Good Health to you. Health appears to be a national obsession in this country and conversations about cough remedies and digestive problems can last for hours. Even the tiniest village has a pharmacy, and they even provide ‘bags for life’ emblazoned with their logo. Knowing that I was going to have to pay around 20€ for the ...

Perpignan Post: 'Bigfoot' in the Pyrénées-Oriéntales
http://perpignan-post.blogspot.com/2015/08/bigfoot-in-pyrenees-orientales.html
Wednesday, 5 August 2015. Bigfoot' in the Pyrénées-Oriéntales. On Monday evening I was carrying a tray of glasses outside and accidentally trod on a football that the dog had kindly left by the step for me. My left foot collapsed under me, the tray flew into the air, and I landed on the terrace surrounded by shards of broken glass. On first inspection things weren’t too bad – a few cuts here and there, a scrape on the top of the foot, and I managed to hobble around for the rest of the evening. I actually...

http://coteabode.blogspot.com/2013/08/french-riviera-beaches-beach-life.html
Côte d'Azur Living and Property. Friday, August 9, 2013. Beach life the egalitarian way on the Côte d'Azur. The topic 'beaches' seems to be a popular subject for readers of this blog. So since it is August, what better time for an update. But there certainly seems to be more of an attitude that the beaches are for everyone, not just for those who will pay. Two sides: Private and public at St Jean Cap Ferrat. Of course, if you want private beaches then the Côte d'Azur has plenty. From the hip Hi Beach.

Côte Abode: July 2012
http://coteabode.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Côte d'Azur Living and Property. Tuesday, July 10, 2012. THE INSIDE VIEW UPDATE. Following on from my last post, it has been pointed out that the tax increase on rent revenue for second homes will apply to unfurnished properties only. This means very few non-French residents will see any change in their status as most second-home owners who rent out do so as furnished lets. So, even less for people to get worried about. Friday, July 6, 2012. Hollande's proposed new taxes for second homeowners in France.

Côte Abode: St Jean Cap Ferrat
http://coteabode.blogspot.com/2014/03/st-jean-cap-ferrat.html
Côte d'Azur Living and Property. Monday, March 3, 2014. St Jean Cap Ferrat. St Jean Cap Ferrat. A story of Kings, mistresses and local councils. I love how one story can lead to another without it having been the original intention. It is like cooking a meal and then realising the recipe is no longer what you set out to create, but you end up with something delicious nonetheless. So, thinking about a recent frustrating work experience in. St Jean Cap Ferrat has led me on another path altogether. It seems...

http://coteabode.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-dance-around-cocteaus-villa-villa.html
Côte d'Azur Living and Property. Friday, September 6, 2013. A dance around Cocteau's villa. The Villa Santo Sospir is one of those extraordinary finds one stumbles on in life if you are lucky. Once the summer house of wealthy socialite (and patron of the arts) Francine Weisweiller, Cocteau arrived at his friend's St Jean Cap Ferrat villa in 1950 and was immediately enchanted.
