... I'm sending you those flowers "

Past times

 

City of Menton, 

circa 1950/60.

The last card may be even older.

Last harbor before Italy

City of  Menton,

 "Pearl of the south".

A seaport in the neighbourhood

  Tomorrow the lockdown will come to its end.

Well , we must still stay outside no more than three hours long, and go away no more than 20 kms far, but , well , that's already a great feeling of liberty !

I was in the lovely city of Menton five weeks ago  , from now on I'll be able to go back there again.

Joy!!

Beautiful day

many views from above

Rich and poor

Circa 1910 .

It's winter , in  Menton , French Riviera .

Two men with fur coats , and a third one with a camera ,

decide to sail for pleasure .

So they rent a boat , and a crew .

 

Two worlds in the same boat ..

 

 

 

Travelling through my bookshelves

 I can't go out anymore ,but I know a perfect way to go on travelling.

My books have always been my best friends, my solace , my solution!

Here we go !
