Stelvio Pass

Tomorrow we are off on our hols in the Dolomites. One of the highlights, for me, will be driving along this road: Ooh that looks a bit steep doesn't it? (Sadly, we won't be doing it in a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera ala 'Top Gear'.) See...

Sparkly pretty door knob Things I like about the kitchen

I have a new front door knob, it's pretty. It feels nice in our new flat. It's warm, cosy and like home. A real home. Our kitchen needs a lot of work but I love the feeling the room gives me. Oh and we get our fridge today too.

Croda del Lago

Hot to trot 1. Only one more sleep until we move house. Have I mentioned that yet? 2. The unreliability of the Southern Weather forecast. This is a good thing. They say rain and cloud and grey but yesterday we had about 5 hours of cloud, one hou...

Our New Fridge

It's grey here today so I'm indoors catching up on chores. It's been absolutely stonkingly sunny here the past few days. Yesterday I was on the beach all afternoon reading Austen and listening to the conversations of the old biddies next to me. Ev...

Lovely Street™

M and I went over to look at the street we are moving into last night. I now think of it as Lovely Street™ and last night with the trees in full leaf and the sun shining it lived up to it's name. On Lovely Street™ en route to the pub we spotted ...
