This post is ridiculously late but very necessary! In mid September we were invited to spend a week in Cannes with our very good friends Thom in Gillian. The week was idyllic and reminded me of one of my all-time favourite movie quotes from
Office Space, 'I did nothing. I did nothing and it was everything I hoped it would be.' We saw no sites, visited no museums and avoided formal 'cultural' experiences as much as we could... it was perfect... relaxing and perfect!

On the beach, with tans! |

Newlyweds, Gillian and Thom |
We spent the week eating amazing food and sitting on the beach or swimming in the ocean... pure heaven. We also had just about the most perfect weather ever! I think it rained once in the middle of night, otherwise it was sunny and hot but not too hot, just right for spending 8 hours a day on the beach!
Rob and I also picked up a new hobby in Cannes, paddle ball!!! I've always watched people play it and thought it seemed a little boring, if not annoying for the other patrons of the beach. However, this visit I was mesmerised by it, I think the Cannes beach-goers are on a much higher level and therefore make it much less disruptive for others! Mid-week we finally snapped and bought a set to try for ourselves... so much fun! I really enjoyed it and it was surprisingly athletic (this was the first 'do-nothing' holiday that I
DIDN'T put on any weight!)

Yep... Paddle ball champs! |
All-in-all it was a perfect week, with wonderful friends. It really capped off what was one of the best summers we've ever had, I will miss 2012 when it's gone!
