Back to Reality

And so another wonderful Italian summer comes to an end.  Having arrived in late June we're off back to Blighty tomorrow.

So many happy memories.  Friends and family to stay.  Great weather, sometimes almost too hot.  Leisurely meals at Casa Ghiro and excellent meals out.  Trips to the mountains and to the sea.  Lounging by the pool.  Markets.  The warm and welcoming locals.  Street parties in the village.  Feste medievali.  Stunning electrical storms.  The Virgin being carried at Ferragosto.

The unique magic of Italy.  Hey ho!  But at least we'll be back again in 3 weeks or so.

It's hardly worth going back for .....

........a wedding!

Have a safe trip back home, ghiro.

Thanks Gala.  Safely back in one piece (or 4 pieces if you also count OH and 2 dogs!)

Good! But you forgot to count the pieces of luggage... That is usually the worst part
