Ciao Pat and best wishes for 2011, I am back at last catching up on so much that I missed while I was away from the blogsphere! Thankyou for comments you left on News From Italy while I was absent. Maybe for mounting one's horse?
Haha! Good idea,jams but no. Good idea, Rosaria. Hi, Carmen. Probably! Hi, LindyLouMac. Glad you're back and buon anno to you. Could have been, but no. Clever idea, Arlene. Buon anno to you.

I'm a sort-of retired language teacher from Cardiff, Wales, UK, now trying to make a new life in Sicily. I'm not growing vines, making olive oil or restoring a palace stone by stone!
