Three days work to go and then for the long haul...26 hours in an upright position...not looking foward to that....but it will be worth it to see Italy (finally).
It will be me telling tales of Rome, Florence,Venice & Pompeii for a change...turning 60 meant it was better late than never..so Sue Reynolds (old school buddy & fellow Moratorium marcher) are off to Italy.
After Italy we are spending a few days in & around Amsterdam with Michael (Evan's old school friend) and his Dutch wife Marsha ............and as luck would have it the tulips will be out.
The Sue heads home & I will fly to London to Ben.....Belinda(friend from Work) then arrives & we will head up north for some fell walking in the Lake District,scaling Ben Nevis and exploring the Outer Hebredes...back to London where I will have another 2 weeks with Ben(we have tickets to The Chelsea Flower Show).......am exhausted already!
The best thing is I won't have to hear anything of Tony & Christopher et al and their crimes for a whole 8 weeks...

Have an absolutely fabulous time and think of me at the Chelsea Flower Show - it's so on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, is Sue Reynolds the daughter of ABHS maths master of the same surname circa 1970? I heard a rumour that said daughter was almost as bad at maths as I was, is that true?
Happy Trails Kathie...hope your trip is wonderful...I am sure it will be. Look forward to reading about your adventures! xxx Genie
