Still hot and sunny during the day here, bit fresher in the mornings. Unsettled weather is forecast from Thursday for a couple of days (sorry) but the forecasts do change hourly. Where are you going to be? Kate, I don't know how you take the temperature LOL but even during the Big Heatwave it only reached the mid forties (Celcius) in France! ;D

I'm going to Canadel in the Cote D'Azur Region about an hour south from Nice. Do you know what it's like? Apparently it has a riding school approx 7 miles away so I might go for a wee lesson all going well. The hubby is driving from Nice airport, so say a little prayer for us!!! I have only been to the Paris a few years back & I am really excited to see the South!!! My french leaves a lot to be desired but hey I'll give it a go ;D I think this makes my holiday when you have to try a little at the lingo. Sunglasses packed here's hoping we get a few rays!!

This it? www.provenceweb.fr/e/var/rayolcan/rayolcan.htmLooks lovely! I don't know it personally but I was in Vence, near Nice, a couple of weeks ago. It was very beautiful. I've rechecked the weather forecast and you may be in luck - it seems to be getting better! Well done for having a go at the lingo - the French are always nicer if you give it a go!
