Nice day out

Quick trip to Nice today, for a bit of a city stroll, a touch of shopping, a tasty meal at the reliably excellent Lu fran Calin restaurant, a wander around the flower stalls at the Cours Saleya, and a wee peek at the crèche in the cathedral. The last was a strange experience. All the life-size figures (probably window dresser's dummies) were blond, blue-eyed, and vapid (possibly heroin chic) with the exception of a 'smoulderingly sexy' Joseph who strangely resembled Cat Stevens in his days before becoming Yusuf Islam.
