Last night we watched, among other things, "Out of the Frying Pan" on BBC2. We watched these two young hopefuls when they first appeared in "The Restaurant", aspiring to get Raymond Blanc's backing in a restaurant business of their own. They irritated us then & they still do. They do seem to have got their act together a bit more in the intervening couple of years but they still seem utterly disorganised on fairly fundamental things.
However, what kept me going was the pictures. The programme was largely set in Mougins, a village near Cannes, in the French Riviera, just near where we are going for our hols next month. The scenery was fabulous, the village quaint. Cannes market heaved with wonderful produce. And to think, this time next month we will be just a few miles away ourselves.
I suspect we won't be going to all the Michellin 3-starred restaurants in the area. But what could be better than some of that oh-so-fresh salad produce and a bottle of wine, just watching the sun set over those hills. Now that is exciting.
