36. Menton - the house

Our beautiful friend, Jilly not only opened her gorgeous home to us, she squired us around and showed us the lovely places in her part of the world. Jilly boards dogs at her dog pension, so we also had the company of four lovely dogs, all impeccably well-behaved.

it was fab having you here, Sally and meeting your two men! All I can say is 'come back soon' and when you do, I'll swim with you in the Monte Carlo pool!

Sally, what a wonderful tour! As you know, we are booked in at Pension Milou for earlyish September. It has been wonderful to meet "Beau" before we get there.
Your travel blog is wonderful and so incredibly well organised. I'm moving on to the next port of call now!
