Early-Morning Leaping

After a cloudy, muggy start to yesterday, the heavens finally opened while we were on the beach. By the time I'd gathered my crossword and towel, it was pouring down and continued to do so for the next few hours. Unfortunately, our invitation to the Cap d'Antibes party was not forthcoming so we stayed in instead with G and Ts (in my case) and steak.

Cannes in the rain isn't hugely fun but this morning, I woke up to bright sunshine. I went for a run along the Croisette and even found time for a few leaps. Our flat is very close to the Palm Beach Casino, which is where a lot of the VIP parties are held. This morning, we saw a few people who looked like they had stayed up all night, as well as people trying to tidy up last night's mess.
