Italia……….

……………has always been very high on our list of places to visit and we can’t understand why we have left it so long! At last our “love affair’ with Italy has begun. After a bit of a false start in Milan, we arrived in Florence and despite temperatures of 35º we wandered around like kids in a candy store. Everywhere we turned we were face to face with art as a way of life. The statues, the paintings, the churches, the language, the clothes, the food, the people, the traditions, the very land which has inspired so much literature……there are going to be quite a few blogs about Italy folks……….wish you’d been there xxxxxxxxxx
