Slurp!


Yesterday, lunching with a friend (ravioli aux artichauts) at an outside table at Restaurant Le Balico, I turned my head and there was this little boy, sitting a few feet from me on the stone bench. The bench is separated from the restaurant by a row of plants - which is why he's crowned with a weeping fig.

The restaurant you see behind him - across the square - is Restaurant Le Lido.

I think he's enjoying his ice-cream, don't you?

Note: Since posting this, sadly Le Balico has been sold and is now under new management.

  6. M.B loved this one so much Jilly that he has put it on his screen saver! I'd say that the flavour is pistachio and yes, the little boy is definitely enjoying it! Wonderful photo.

  7. So...this new electronic wonder is co-operating with you.

    I love the brilliance in this photo. The back lighting, the leafy cap, the cafe only slighlty blurred so we can enjoy some detail....well done.
