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!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
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!
Love the smile on the gondaliers face!
ReplyDeleteWonder if he made them pay for their sight seeing!
I bet he did; plus extra for the good sleep!
DeleteAnd also the reason why you must not postpone travel plans till retirement.
ReplyDeleteA very good point.
DeleteThat gondalier!! Catching flies is never a good look on a lady. Is this your pic?
ReplyDeleteNo, unfortunately not. I just thought it was classic.
DeleteThey look like local Venetians to me, taking a gondola home after, as you say, a long lunch.
ReplyDeleteI reckon they're Aussies, after a few XXXX's.
DeleteHaha ..... they would have been better off on the Vaporetto ...... and much cheaper ! XXXX
ReplyDeleteA very expensive snooze; hence the gondoliers smile.
DeleteThey look dead to me. Perhaps their last wish was to see Venice.
ReplyDeleteThe Mafia at play.
DeleteI can't see the woman's legs.
DeleteThe woman looks like she is over-acting.
ReplyDeleteThey were auditioning for bit-parts in 'Death in Venice'.

ReplyDeleteI probably couldn't afford a gondola!
DeleteGreat pic! I too love the look on the gondaliers face. But seeing that look, I wonder if the pic was 'staged'... (still funny).
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, you couldn't fake that cheeky snigger.
Delete'Let's go to romantic Venice' they said.
ReplyDeleteAnd they did!
