Toulon...last port of call.

Boy. have I enjoyed this, its been brilliant, such beautiful photos, made me feel right nice like summer is coming, loved the submarine wish I could have seen it coming up like you,so glad you put this final blog on Bloomer, thank you

Wonderful. Like Yorkie I felt as if I was there too. Could almost feel the sunshine on my face. Lovely photos Sandra, thank you so much.

Yes, I agree with Cinders. I enjoyed this ever so much. All that lovely sunshine, the beach, the boats, the MARKETS..wow the markets! Aren't they lucky to have those fantastic produce markets. I know we occasionally have them, even up here sometimes, but they are a monthly event if we're lucky! Of course, it wouldn't be the same in the pouring rain would it! lol.

wonderful pictures looks a fab place - like the picture of the go on the little ride :D

Thanks Yorkshire,Cinders and Karen.Glad you enjoyed it.It made me feel better looking at the sunshine again too..roll on..We really enjoyed this part of France,and its so worth the cost of going on some of the trips...If only money was no object,eh?..On the other hand,we wouldn't appreciate it the same..

Thanks Paul,its nice to be childish now and then..quite easy for me Lol.Glad you liked this part of France..:o)

yes it is beautiful - I never ever been abroad. I am quite silly too :D

Lovely photos. In the late 1970´s we used to go camping down in that area and Sanary- Sur- Mer rings a very big bell in my head. Happy times.

I don't think the same rules will apply to you about being silly..as a Golden Oldie,I think its expected,so you can get away with it most times..I just see a shake of the head,or raised eyebrows,an odd tut tut,but hey,who cares ? :o)))

Oh,that's nice to hear Rogi,and I'm glad it brought back some happy memories for you...thank you. :o)

that looks beautiful, i loved the fountains and the markets; lovely to see the blue sky!

Don't the French do markets sooo well! I think about markets I've experienced in Britain and they are usually a tatty mess compared to the beautiful French markets. What a lovely trip you had - thanks for sharing. :o)

perhaps its to do with the weather but you are right nariz, markets abroad in general are much more attractive than ours. why do the english ones have to look like something resembling a jumble sale?

Thanks Sticki and Nariz,I agree about the markets looking so good.I think our markets used to be good,but a lot of stall holders have had their rents increased so much,a lot just can't afford to do it anymore,and its such a shame,as I used to enjoy going to a lot of them...and all the pound shops don't help ,but I must admit,I go to them as well..
I do use our indoor market a lot though,and they are struggling too..lots of stalls are closed now.

I could almost feel the warmth of the sun just by looking at your lovely photos, it is just so beautiful there. Well done you for not being able to resist sitting on the rocking horse, I thought I was the only one who did daft things like that...lol! And yes, the market looked so appealing, the French really DO know how the art of presentation. I`m glad you had such a wonderful trip. :o)

Lovely blog Sandra, just makes you want to be there, choosing fruit and veg from those lovely market stalls. Haven't been to France for years, looks beautiful where you were. : o )

Thanks Sandra,now if you had been on the other one,we could have 'rocked' together.Lol.Glad you enjoyed it.A lovely part of France,and would love to visit again sometime..

Cheers Shirley.I would love to shop there too.They were quite expensive,but probably tasted lovely.We have never had a holiday there,just a couple of overnight stops,when we went on a coach tour to Diano Marina,years ago....never again,too far by coach...and the others have been trips out,but loved everywhere we went.

Ab Fab pics Sandra....thank you xxxxx

Thanks Lou,looking forward to seeing yours..won't be long now :o)))

Nice to see you having a wonderful time. You certainly know how to have fun !
Lots of nice photos with blue sea and sky :o) Don't know how I missed this sorry - better late than never lol

Thank you Hywel..There is so much to look at ,and I miss lots of things too.I think we all do.I was going to do a last blog and pics on board the ship we stayed on,but I think everyone will have seen enough of this holiday.!

Oh photos of on board ship :o) That would ne nice.

Do you think so Hywel? I will give it some thought,don't want to bore everyone...

The boring ones won't have to read it if they don't want to, do they lol

Ok Hywel,I might do it next week sometime,.such a busy life I lead...NOT !:o))

Well it would be nice to read it, if you can find time in your buisy schedule to write it ;o) lol

Ok,Hywel..just for you,and anyone else that wants to have a look..I had better do it before the gardening season kicks in...busy? Me? not yet! but hope to be soon..this time of year is sooo boring!

I shall look forward to it Thank you :o)
I don't find this time of year boring. That's around Christmas and new year for me :o((
I use Jan - March for doing drawings, and genealogy - things I stop doing in the summer because of my pottery and gardening :o)
