Then my former boss in a Cardiff college suddenly turned up on Messenger.
And over in Vancouver, my blogging friends jmb, Leslie and Liz have met for lunch. How I wish I could have been there!
"Quant'è piccolo il mondo", indeed, yet it is a world that seems more divided than ever at the moment. Let us hope that little acts like blogging friends meeting up, across continents and cultures, can help save it.

I agree that it would be great to meet blogging friends, a small world exactly Welshcakes, It's almost like we know your hairdresser ourselves :)
That sound like such a fun blogger meet up :-)
Small world indeed. We wish you could have been there too Welshcakes.
Even if we never get to meet our blogging friends in "real life", I'm sure just learning about other people and their different ways of life is bound to help international understanding - even if only on a small level.
The meet up in Vancouver was always on the cards, wasn't it?
I want to be Raffaele's groupie. :)
Next time you're coming over to the mainland, drop me a line! We could meet up! :-)
Blogging certainly helps make the world smaller, nunyaa. Yes, it must have been, cherrypie. Thanks, jmb. I echo those thoughts, dragonstar. Yes, but I still think it's wonderful that it happened, James! I will tell him, flutterby - he'll be delighted! I certainly will, Saretta!
Very small world...I bet jmb, Leslie and Liz had a hoot...wish we were all there!!
Raffaele is so famous...does he know you blog about him??? And that all the ladies want to meet him..:-)
I think it would be such fun meeting the bloggers who have to keep ther anonimity because of where they are or where they work- it would have to be a masked ball, what a lush idea
Oh WL, next time, okay? OR we could all meet up in Sicilia! Now THAT would be fun! I'd love to see Siracusa and Taormina again along with your own lovely little village. Oh and to meet the famous Raffaele.
Bravo WL
I'd like to have been at that lunch too.
Oh wow! What amazing coincidences!
The downside is that we never know when our online gripes will find their way back to the person we moan about.
Of course, sometimes that's exactly what we want! ;-)
(PS. I dropped by to see what was on the menu this evening...you know, to sit here and drool over! You post such great pix....)
Hi, Anne. What a time we would all have had! Yes, Raff knows I blog about him and thinks it's great - and even greater that all these womwn want to meet him!
Valleys Mam - a masked blogger ball! What a fantastic idea! Leslie, it woukd be wonderful if we could all meet in Sicily! you never know.... Thanks, WW.
Say hello to Raffaele from me.
I am still in awe of the magic of the Internet - that allows us to meet, talk and develop friendships - without the barriers of distance.
We'd have had a great time, Ellee!
Thank you for your comment about my pics, deb acle. You are right about the downside of meeting up, of course but it's still fun! Detto fatto, James. Hi, David, Me, too !
