If it’s Friday, it must be France … Really? It’s Friday again? So soon? It’s been a busy, wonderful week in Nice (with the usual side trips that are so easy to do here …) but somehow I’ve even managed to get in some work on my WIP. * doing a happy dance* We’ve got an early train to catch to Toulon and then a quick ferry ride to beautiful Saint Mandrier tomorrow to visit friends for the weekend. So this will be brief! I just wanted to share my total fan-girl … okay, but fan- lady just doesn’t have the same ring … moment with you. After spending the day in Antibes – and it was SO good to be back there – catching up with Heidi at the Bookshop and Julie and Victor at Choopy’s and good friend Antonia, my DH and I hopped on the train back to Nice to meet up for an apèro with Ted and Joan Jones. Ted is the author of The French Riviera ~ A Literary Guide For Travellers. If you spend time in this part of the world, you need to have this book with you. Trust me! Click here for a post all about the book that I wrote when we were staying Antibes two years ago. All I want to say right now is that it was a distinct pleasure to meet Ted, at long last, and Joan as well! I even got his autograph!
What are you up to? Bon weekend!
That is so cool! What a great pic of the two of you. I love it when we get to meet our favorites. Enjoy your adventure tomorrow!
Thanks, Tameri! It was fun swapping stories.
When I go I will buy it! Lovely weekend to you!
It’s a book that’s interesting to read even if you don’t come to France, so don’t let that stop you. This part of the world has certainly been a magnet for writers.
Sounds like you are having a fabulous time. Great to meet someone you admire. All that fun and working on your WIP as well, who could wish for more!
The writing is going well, Darlene, but it takes a push every now and then! You know what I mean …
Oh yes I do!
Wonderful! Love the photo x
How wonderful! A lovely photo!
Good old iphoneography!
Truly Wonderful! I am so glad you are making some dreams come true. I look forward to connecting when you are back from paradise.
Lovely photo indeed! Do you do photo credits?
Super to meet you both and can’t wait for the next time. Merci pour la pub et a bientot.
Bises, T & J
Lucky you meeting Ted Jones, I loved his Literary Guide to the French Riviera., and I also loved your new book. Enjoy your trip!
Congrats on getting some work in on the WIP (a happy dance is a must). I made a note of Ted’s book. We’re planning a return trip to France this summer. Can’t wait.
Bon voyage!
What a great pic of you two. Thanks for the advice on his book. Sounds like required reading is travelling there.
