I was terrified, though, of falling over in those heels, as I still have balance problems from time to time. Luckily, I didn't. The plaque reads, "In gratitude for honouring us with your presence" - Italians are very good at this sort of thing. I've told Simi all about it and she says she's quite proud, really!<br />Hi, pink. Many thanks.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-46548948392206435742009-05-09T00:06:00.000+02:002009-05-09T00:06:00.000+02:00How wonderful and deserving you both are!

Well deserved I know.<br /><br />A visit to Florence is truly balm for the soul, or at least for those who love the Renaissance period as I do too. I don't have the emotional memories of Florence that you do, although I have been there half a dozen times. But it was there that I first did a home stay/course in Italy and where my level of Italian took a huge jump.<br /><br />Sadly it is no longer at a high level.jmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563252743976699923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-9073415678527965942009-05-06T21:36:00.000+02:002009-05-06T21:36:00.000+02:00Thank you, cb.
