Feel almost bad about having had such a good day yesterday – we went off early morning on the bike and only just got back indoors in time for our evening meal. Visited a big regional market where I bought some nice yarn and haberdashery bits – and we picked up some nosh which we…
Not the most glam photo of hubby that I have, but today we took a break and whizzed off on the bike to a Christmas market — or at least — there was supposed to be one! Don’t believe everything you read on internet! I was foolish enough to look at a site which purports…
Can’t find this ‘Alle Richtungen’ on the map for the life of me!!! Just discovered our road trip photos sitting waiting for some attention . We had a motorbike some 30 years ago – just a little thing which we kept whilst we were in the UK for about 3 months and then sold when…
Well it’s just about that time again, and we are getting ourselves ready for the Craft Market to be held in Via Garibaldi here in Venice at the end of this month. We have a fairly good stock of bits and pieces, but were surprised at the last market by just how many earrings went,…

The food in all these restaurants (with a couple of minor exceptions) is always excellent and reasonably priced. This particular…
Woke to a brilliant morning and just hope that it will be like this on the Venetian hinterland as well as today I am off to Vicenza with hubby, daughter and her boyfriend. The boys are going to be bored to tears, but no one twisted their arm to accompany us. They had just better…
YippppeeeeeeeJust phoned hubby who is on his way back from buying the bike!!!We have had to leave it at the home of the guy who sold it to us as we have still not set up a contract for the insurance nor for the garage. We will be going to pick it up in about…
