The Last Entry






Sorry i haven't blogged more - -but blogger has been out of commission for several days. you could read blogs, but not post to them!

It's Friday the 13th. We will leave Menton tomorrow about supper time and spend a night in a Nice airport hotel, before heading home from Nice, via Paris, on Sunday the 15th. I don't think I will have time to blog any more and want to spend as much of the precious time that I have left just making the most of things.

Let’s see – on the 11th I became a Great-Uncle (and my Sister became a Grandmother!) when my nephew and his girlfriend had a baby girl, whom they’ve named Grace!

At the same time, I became semi-obsessed reading the final blog of Derek Miller. To read his final words, click here (http://www.penmachine.com/2011/05/the-last-post).

We should all consider how lucky we are just to be alive.

Recently, Paul and I walked the Le Corbusier walk from Roquebrun Cap Martin train station around the entire Cap and all the way back to our apartment, at the Italian border – more than a 3 hour hike. We were going to take the train from Caronles, but we missed it and the next one was going to be an hour, so we just kept walking.

In the spirit of enjoying life, I think in this post, less is more. Interestingly it was Le Corbusier’s contemporary, Walter Gropius who first said that.

I wish little Grace a wonderful life.

I wish Derek eternal peace.

Love to you all, from one of the most beautiful places on this earth.

The past few days have been clear sun and 26C to 27C.
