No, not a new light BBC detective drama starring him from Midsomer Murders and her from something else that may have had Martin Clunes in it.

This is a virtual trip for Grans cruising along the Cote D’Azur on the luxury yacht Aresteas. We began in Marseille en route to Monte Carlo and are currently in Cannes.

All welcome. Bring swimsuits, sun cream and sparking Champagne.

This is a spillover thread with a title change to describe our current course. As on the old thread, we ask that people chat about the things they plan, encounter and explore along the route rather than post links.

I have never like that nasal emoji, tbh. ?

I am always afraid it will be taken the wrong way
(As it were).

Isn't it Lucca with the pash on Berrettini?
If so, we won't be seeing much of her - he's ? this afternoon.
We can bring her back a doggie bag.

Top of the list. My work is done. I can smell the pong factory in the distance. ???

I want some of those Joseanne.

Joseanne Tue 28-Jun-22 09:39:55

This lady had the matching dress too.

Manolos or Jimmy Choos then ixion?

Herring boxes without topsies.

ixion Tue 28-Jun-22 09:38:05

Like swans, too.

Sad.

Manolos or Jimmy Choos then ixion?

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 28-Jun-22 09:37:21

Really? I wish you hadn’t told me that - they’re so delicious.

Joseanne Tue 28-Jun-22 09:34:40

Useless information alert again ....... did you know that lobsters stick together for life and only mate with the same partner? ? ❤ ?

ixion Tue 28-Jun-22 09:28:42

Getting there GSM.
But don't forget, only quality posts, please.

CaravanSerai Tue 28-Jun-22 09:28:22

The Geigers are in Selfridges sale reduced from £149 to £69. If you were serious Joseanne.

Don't mention activity GSM. I'm still aching with laughter from Pilates with John.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 28-Jun-22 09:24:39

Are we at the top of the Active list yet? ?

Joseanne Tue 28-Jun-22 09:23:10

Ooo I'd eat my heart out for those CS, in fact I've just eaten my own sandals to get in the mood. ?

CaravanSerai Tue 28-Jun-22 09:20:01

Cheap Coddies Joseanne. I prefer my far more tasteful Kurt Geigers.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 28-Jun-22 09:16:18

Shoes for me svp. ??

You know Joseanne said a lobster has gone missing in the galley and she wondered where it had crawled? Found it.

Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation. Dali

Can it? We shall be discussing this and other serious philosophical conundrums over coffee later. Or shall we talk about shoes?

ixion Tue 28-Jun-22 09:01:03

Nah, it'll be the slick conmen who prey on vulnerable old dears with lots of bling that you have to look out for.
Bit of smooth talking, they'll have your watch and necklace off in no time and you won't even notice.

I mean just look at that old bloke in the photo - just as I said...

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 28-Jun-22 08:48:30

Just magpies I think, but I’ve left my jewels in the safe just in case …

Joseanne Tue 28-Jun-22 08:45:30

I'd better hide my new shiny Cartier watch and my bejewelled Gucci sunglasses while seated then, or they'll be descending on our table.
Or is that just magpies?

CaravanSerai Tue 28-Jun-22 08:44:20

Good morning everyone.

Joseanne and I are going to Musée Marc Chagall and GSM and ixion to Molinard to make perfume. What plans do others have?

Rendevouz later for coffee at Negresco? Be warned, they have rather surreal guest at the moment.

Mollygo Tue 28-Jun-22 08:36:18

I’ll do what I can to bag a table en plein air. They have a better class of seagull down here, who prefer bombing beaches to inland.

ixion Tue 28-Jun-22 08:32:28

Just wondering if we have time to fit in morning coffee especially when you note how late some people emerge
They do a nice-looking afternoon tea, we could regroup then to plot further?
If we go for the tea option, could the first ones there bag a table en plein air svp?

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 28-Jun-22 08:05:08

Yes, I’d love to visit the pong factory ixion. I hope the large organ is still there?
