Palio dei Normanni in Sicily in August is a three day event which commemorates the ousting of the Arabs from Sicilian territory by the invading Normans. It seems hard to believe that the Normans were busily invading Sicily around the same time as the Norman conquest of England in 1066. This time it was at the expense of the occupiers of the time from Arabia.Sicily has long been at the centre of wars due to its strategic importance as a Mediterranean island which almost acts as a bridge between mainland Europe and the north African coast. The frequent...

Juan Jazz 2012 started last night with Norah Jones headlining and Adam Cohen opening proceedings.I have long hankered after getting along to the Juan Les Pins festival since I first became aware of it thanks to some research I was doing in the area for a documentary with the BBC many moons ago.Norah Jones in concert seemed like the perfect occasion to enjoy some chilled out music by the sea set amidst the Mediterranean pines after which Juan takes its name.First up was Adam Cohen who was pretty good and was backed by a very impressive American cello...

Aix en Provence festival 2012 started on the 5th July and runs through to the 27th July.The festival d’Aix is a very popular annual event which encompasses classical music and opera at the highest level with the new opera by George Benjamin and Martin Crimp showcasing this year. Aix en Provence is in my opinion not only one of the most beautiful cities in France but it is very French in the best way and combines modern with old to perfection, it is both a class place and a fun city, full of youth and vibrancy. You will always find street musicians...

The villa a summer read for 2012 by Loseline Ley is on the shelves in bookstores and airports now.With a title like The Villa I couldn’t resist picking up the latest novel by Roseline Lea as I perused WH Smith’s in Liverpool airport a couple of weeks ago.At first I thought oh no I’m not going to like this but actually after a few chapters I really got into it and found it captivating and interesting.Without giving too much away it’s based around a villa in Sicily, Italy which is located in a magical setting, right on the sea...

Bonifacio Corsica world cliff diving series 2012 took place last week and what a spectacular event that was.Corsica is one of those places where the scenery is quite breathtaking, putting it way above many other destinations for that alone.

Bonnard and friends exposition Cote d’Azur is on at Le Musee Bonnard in Le Cannet until 16 September 2012.This one off exhibition is unique in its content and quality and personally I really enjoyed it. To see so many original paintings by the likes of Monet, Matisse and Vuillard exposed in the charming building of the Le Musee Bonnard was a real treat. I enjoyed most of all the Bonnard and Matisse; variations on the window theme, where the artists explore the play on light and colour when looking out of a window. The other main themes are...
