A Sahara storm hovers over parts of Europe presenting a strange inversion cloud that hangs low over the horizon and dulls all the colour. There isn’t a great drive to go outside and be part of the world and the apartment becomes a cocoon once again. So we headed off to Cannes for a Saturday lunch and in spite of the wind, we wandered around a different market, shops and the long promenade. We found a lovely cafe that caught my attention immediately. It had two of my favourite things, lots of aqua decor and beautiful chocolate for sale.
Blue Skies
Turquoise is a lovely mix of blue and green and ancient civilisations saw it as a colour and stone of good luck, a charm. Others call it aqua and it resonates with the sea, a summer sky and sense of light and hope. The cafe’s tiled walls instantly lifted our spirits along with a mocha and a piece of flan pâtissier. All was right with the world and we set off to walk alongside a grey marbled sea.
