Merci beaucoup Barbara! 👋🏼😀🫶🏼

A tangerine sky this morning over Marseille. A few scattered clouds and a dark, distant massif. Random lights across the city; otherwise the night shadows still remain…for now.

That’s it from me. I will now be taking a short absence from social media (as I will be a travelling man!).

Last night’s sunset. My balcony view of eastern Marseille, highlighted the dying pink light. It was joined by a mix of clear blue skies and grey clouds. Hope for better times ahead.

Indeed Luis! I also liked the angles and the discreet street lamp! Complexity and simplicity! 👋🏼😀

You are most welcome Effie! 🫶🏼

Merci beaucoup loolek! 👋🏼😀

My memories relate to my grandmother telling me (aged around 9) that I had “a face as long as Livery Street”!

If I didn’t change it to a happier face, I would be stuck with it for life.

Good news…I can change my facial impressions Jane…and yes, Livery Street still looks as long as I remember it!

Love this image CL! Did you dip your toes in the water? 👋🏼😀🫶🏼

I am helped by being on a hill and in a high rise! Also, a balcony view!

I am off back home to Birmingham on Wednesday; I may not get too many sunrises…but fingers crossed for some fog or rain!

You may need to allow yourself some time to look through the back posts…

You should find some beautiful images to your liking! Most of them are here in Marseille…

You are most welcome to have a wee dander Soph! I am a bit of a fan of sunrises (insomniac) and not a fan of the orange one! 🤭🫶🏼

Indeed Soph! I have posted a few of them recently! 🧡🩶

Appreciate the compliment! Go well! 👌🏼👋🏼😀🫶🏼

Appreciate the compliment my QN! I particularly liked the swirling grey clouds. The quote was an easy one to put against the image and of course you know who I was referring too ! 🤭

Have a lovely start to your week! 👌🏼👋🏼😀🫶🏼

Thank you JB! The Pharo has such beautiful views over the harbour. It is quiet and a feast for the eyes. My happy place. 🫶🏼

Spring flowers on green grass slope! A green hedge tops the green image off. A street lamp peaks above the said hedge; accompanied by a blue sky. This scene was taken near my favourite place…the gardens of le Chalet du Pharo, Marseille.

Two good souls as a subject matter to teach. 👏🏼

You are on a roll of good times Effie! Keep on keeping on!

In turn, something for your ears! 🎶🎵🫶🏼

It pays to be light on your toes Effie! Being a Brummie has its advantages! 🤭🫶🏼

Were you tempted to pick one Effie? 🤭🫶🏼

Better out than in , so express the four letter word (even if it is just you saying it in your head) JB! 🤭

Oops…I have given it further thought and would now like to add fascist!

Nature’s beauty Peter! Take a bow! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Now you are talking JB!

For the record…it is pronounced Farage…as in garage!

Boris is just pronounced as arrogant, selfish, lying, two-faced Tory!

Not sure if I have nailed it? 🤭

Beautiful indeed Effie! 👏🏼👋🏼😀🫶🏼

…and you don’t want to meet anyone called Nigel or Boris on the path to the right JB! ✊🏼

Stay left JB! 🤭✊🏼

Heading north this week! Homeward bound! 👋🏼😀🫶🏼

Just like that! 🤣

I could help CL! I would happily sacrifice my waistline! 🤤🤭🫶🏼
