Banana Choc Chip and Pecan Cake



Banana Choc Chip and Pecan Cake

Good Morning Beach Dwellers

So we are well and truly back into our daily routine after the big trip (sadly nothing lasts forever) and I am back in the kitchen, producing all the meals that a mum must, on a weekly basis.  Ho Hum.

Beautiful Avalon Estate on the Market.



I must say I am rather partial to a private estate with ocean views.  This lovely 4 bedroom home is set on 1800sqm and was built c. 1948.  It has been beautifully updated and comes complete with a 12.5m heated pool and Caribbean styled cabana.  Walk to beach and village to make the most of the wonderful Northern Beaches lifestyle. For all her lovely details and to view a floor plan.  Take a look here

Shenanigans on the French Riviera Part 3





Hyeres (pronounced ee air) is an Olympic sailing town and forms the western boarder to the the Cote d'Azure in France.  It is definitely not in the same league as St Tropez, but nevertheless, is a very beautiful coastal town and ultimately it began to grow on me.

An Iconic House in Palm Beach for Sale

An Iconic House in Palm Beach for Sale

Well Beach House of the Week is back and what a way to launch its return.

This house is possibly the one I covert the most in Palm Beach.  We often launch our dinghy from near by and I am always in awe of this lovely house as I pass it by.

A Beautiful Day in St Tropez



Wow what a stunner St Tropez is.  Mr Beach House was loathe to go, but I said we can’t come all this way and pass over probably the most famous beach resort in Europe if not the world, so we went to lunch in a restaurant with sand on the floor..........I mean they actually meant to have sand on the floor.

Shenanigans on the French Riviera Part 2



 Hi Beach Dwellers.

Here's the next episode in Shenanigans on the French Riviera:

We found a cute little beach just down from the yacht club with a great hotel two doors down, that does good coffee and hot chocolate. So the kids are getting to swim on a daily basis and I have access to an easy coffee fix in lovely surroundings.  Yay!! The private beach concept is a little weird, but when in Rome and all that.

Shenanigans on the French Riviera



I've been AWOL for a few days. Moving house to Heyres on the Med and getting Mr Beach House all set for the regatta has been somewhat hectic.  One has to ask “Are we having fun yet?”  I so do not see the joy in competitive sailing, especially at international level, but there are 517 competitors here, so clearly I am missing something.

Accommodation in L'Isle sur la Sorgue



If you are looking for a great place to base yourself in the south of France (Provence) next time you are there, you would go along way to find a town better than L'Isle sur la Sorgue.  Centrally located in the Department of Vaucluse, it is close to all the must see perched villages and other attractions of the Luberon Valley.  Although you can arrive by train, a car is really a must if you want to take full advantage of the French country side.  We stayed in a very cute 2 bedroom apartment overlooking the centre of town.  Again there were loads of stairs, so if you are in any way disabled, this one is not for you.  But stairs seem to be par for the course in most French apartment complexes. The other issue was that being in the centre of town can of course be noisy, but that is one thing I am prepared to put up with, for being right in the action.
