Love your take on life Lola! And I've got the "bad language while driving" thing going already. No point in waiting! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously hasn’t happened yet. We loved Eze. Mr Luxury, Is it as fabulous as it looks? Lola, I think your take on life is delicious. Yes, the dining and views are exceptional. I have not stayed at the hotel and was there just for dining. After numerous visits to Monte Carlo, a trip to Eze is something most should not miss. A funny little story to tell. When my daughter was 15 she and her best friend spent a month at camp in Cap d'Ail. When their French studies were finished, they would all take the train to MC and dine on croissants and wine. ( They would put sugar in the wine to make it palatable to a 15 yr old.) Her cheeks were a bit chubby when she arrived back in the States. I am sure there is a lot more I never knew about 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d never been inside a Multi-storey lined in Emperador marble before. Lots of fun though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueSeraSera Posted July 18, 2022 #13879 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Wow, so much fun to catch up at the cooler upon our return from a land trip to Ireland! And thank you for the good wishes. Our trip turned out well for the most part. Had flight delays both ways but none mission critical. Ireland is certainly a beautiful country. The photo below, taken at Hamlet's Pub in Kinsale sums up much of our trip 🙂 We enjoyed an Irish coffee at this fine establishment. Thanks to the educational value of the cooler, I purchased 2 packages of Digestive crackers while in grocery stores there. Ignorance is no excuse, but I must plead ignorance for whatever mindless thought I may have posted when this came up some time ago. These are truly excellent crackers! Dear wife thinks it a bit crazy, but I almost always find an excuse to visit a grocery store or food market wherever we visit. Does anyone else do this? I realize that I'm minutes away from being up 24 hrs, a story for perhaps another time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreign supermarkets fascinate me. Kid in a candy store springs to mind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Luxury Posted July 18, 2022 #13881 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Daveywavey70 Eze is a lovely medieval town and the jewel is the Chevre d'or. There is a terrace for drinks that overlooks the sea and Cap ferrat. The rooms are all different and I always get one with a small balcony so that I can have breakfast there. It is a must. Food is superb and the very best wine cellar that you could ever wish for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted July 19, 2022 #13887 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I still say we should exile Harry and Megan to Canada, but 'transportation' to Australia is also acceptable.

Daveywavey70 Posted July 19, 2022 #13892 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Well we have had the hottest day ever recorded in Wales today and it’s been utterly miserable. My contempt for sunshine has reached new levels. I’ve been praying for sleet and hail followed by a freezing fog but my prayers are yet to be answered. I’ve barely slept for a week. It’s like living In Satans armpit. Visits to the wine cellar (11c) to “check on the stock” have been occurring at 15 minute intervals. My boys are enjoying their new cooling mat but the pup is a real sun worshipper and follows the sun around the room. The cats are in ecstasy whilst I feel like I’m walking through treacle. First spots of rain and I’ll be dancing round the lawn in my vest and underpants. Antartica has firmly cemented itself at the top of my list. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be easier on yourself to be a bit easier on others comments and opinions than changing the behaviour of the other 7bn people in the world ….. Best of luck with the test.

To be honest, I’m still unclear what it is that upsets you about discussion concerning prominent people who clearly seek maximum publicity the consequence of which is discussions about those tactics. If you never discuss these things yourself, I gently suggest that you are nearly unique. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
