The array of expressions caught in those holiday snaps is just wonderful - especially the English lady who appears rapt and over-excited at the contents of Maurice's basket. What a pity we can't see inside! A camembert filled baguette perhaps, or an assortment of irresistable French pastries? Maurice looks nonchalent - he does this every day I guess. And what a collection of extraordinary characters in the background. The bathing suits are a joy. And why are they all (nearly) so thin? Then, in the other photo, of everyone seated in a line - all so jaunty. The sunny day? A wedding party? Two flowery parasols, and a leather brief case wedged between two chairs. I used to have a cloche hat like the lady in the middle - from Laura Ashley. I think it rather suited me... ha ha.
