Today is a holiday and the festa della Repubblica in Italy, the anniversary of the 1946 referendum in which the country voted for a Republican form of government.
It is also the sixth anniversary of the day when Simi the dog and I left a rainy Gatwick Airport to start a new life in Sicily. By way of celebration, I am reposting this slide show of the lovely town where we are lucky enough to live.
Happy anniversary, Italy and happy anniversary to us!
Happy anniversary, Italy and happy anniversary to us!
Aw - what an anniversary - and what does Simi have to say about it all?
ReplyDeleteI hope the weather is nicer for you than it is here. What rotten luck to have 4 days off for relaxing ponte and the skies are nothing but clouds and rain!
ReplyDeleteA lot to celebrate. I actually remember how my little town lined up and went to the polls, filing around the block.
ReplyDeleteA big decision but I don't believe you've regretted it, pat. Congratulations to you and Simi
ReplyDeleteHi, James. Simi says she has become a very Italian dog! Hi, Rowena. Yes, the weather has been strange but the heat has started to kick in now. That must be a nice memory, Rosaria. Hi, Liz. No, no regrets. Love to you and George from simi and me. xx woof!
