It's a right Riviera! Whilst Wendy did the longer haul journeys... I stayed a little closer to home.

We were both certainly thrilled to be invited to the exhibition of Ballet Russe in Monaco. I hope you enjoy Wendy's article. I was amazed by the tiny ballet shoes worn by Anna Pavlova in 1906. What tiny feet she must have had.

Talking of tiny feet... one of my highlights was meeting Lucy Bonser and her new baby 'India Rose Grace'. We were pleased to present her with the Vilmart Champagne. We hope to feature Lucy in the future on The Riviera Woman.

Also staying with new additions... welcome to Kim de Stanruth, a veterinary nurse on a new mission. She has some important pet tips.

There was more business networking to be done and we were pleased to be guests at The European Professional Women's Network in Sophia Antipolis. It was inspiring to see women working together and helping each other.

Maureen Moss our Travel Writer, swaps her tales of Tibet for those of Nepal and we also hear from Jen Tomasetti about her journey from Sydney to Sanremo. Go Girl!

A little domestic bliss as I found a brilliant recipe and video for Pesto. A real summer treat.

My new passion for motorbike riding... solely as a passenger, inspired me to report on the annual Vintage Motorbike Parade. See my video... It was a real 'Torri Affair'

With all that goes on in Riviera Land, there's always a moment to reflect with Anne Naylor and her weekly article. This week is about finding your true passion.

I am going to leave you with one of the images sent to me by Chantal Dulin... it certainly works for me!

Wendy and I are back on the road and look forward to sharing our Riviera News with you. If you have a story to share with us, let us know.

Lots of Love,

ANNA
