Travelling friends




I have been a bit busy recently and therefore haven't posted for a while.  Firstly I got Sky TV installed which means that I now simply have to watch junk in my spare time.  It is not UK sky so most of the shows that I am watching are shows that I avoided in the UK but they are fine for filling that hour before dinner etc.

Secondly I had my friend from the states come visit for a few days.  We had a really great time.  I got to go to Venice again.  This was only my second time and the first time it was raining.  I have to say that Venice in the sunshine is significantly more beautiful that Venice in the 'sog'.  We also went to the guardini giusti, (pics above) .  They were lovely too but it was 38 degrees and we were beginning to melt.
I feel as though I have missed a huge amount out, but it is too late now.  I have finished school for the summer and therefore I am free to research for the new year.  
Lastly - we had a visitor on our balcony yesterday - he flew into our window and took a day to recover....we called him pip.
