Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Looking good - It has been a bit chilly here lately but some lovely sunny days.
ReplyDeleteVery dry here, no rain for weeks, and none on the horizon. I'm not complaining.
DeleteAll fives senses are perfectly happy. Your place is beautiful! There's serenity.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
Yes, it's perfect at the moment; just how summer should be.
DeleteI wish it never ends, Cro. It has been lovely here too and I feel good in this weather. x
DeleteI am a July baby, so I think summer is in my DNA. I'm not myself in winter.
DeleteLovely sense of this time of the year in your photos.
ReplyDeleteI think most gardens around here are much the same ; no doubt yours is too.
DeleteFreddie knows a good place.
ReplyDeleteHe's changed a lot recently; much more gregarious than previously. It suits him.
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's Summertime that's beautiful.
DeleteI could fancy an hour on your lounger { Freddie would have to find another spot !! } while I was waiting for one of your lovely lunches Cro ..... what's on the menu today ? XXXX
ReplyDeleteAvocado salad and a Peach. Who needs more?
Deletesummer time here too,and the living isn't so easy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.
We're relaxing here; it's too hot to do much else. Stay safe!
DeleteThis is my favorite part of summer, but also sad that it will be drawing to a close soon.
ReplyDeleteI try not to think of that, although I do enjoy Autumn. It's the depth of winter that I hate.
DeleteFreddie looks very comfortable. That pool looks inviting too. Just enough breeze this afternoon to keep the heat bearable, perfect!
ReplyDeleteDear Fred, he's still not 100% sure if he wants anything to do with us or not; but he does make an effort (occasionally). Hot ain't it.
DeleteI wish. Sunny but chilly here in North Yorkshire.
ReplyDeleteAre you well? We've all been very worried about you.
DeleteYour photos are the perfect advertisement for the good life Cro. Happy memories to look back on, over the cold winter months ahead.
ReplyDeleteI'm not looking forward to winter... I need to find a 'bolt hole' somewhere warm.
DeleteThank you for such beautiful photos. So lush and green where you live. Right now (Thank You Mother Nature) we are very green because we have had some rain. Two days of rain and everything is green and happy.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip and thehamish
No rain here for weeks, and none forecast for the foreseeable future. Our lawns have turned beige and crunchy.
DeleteOh my, such gorgeous photos. I have summer envy. The winter here seems to be interminable!
ReplyDeleteYou live in such a beautiful place, I'm sure your spring isn't far off.
