Summer Holiday Thoughts

It’s looks as though we may be heading for Corsica this year, as long as I can overcome the other half’s worries about our little pup eating our friends’ non-puppy friendly little son, that is. I’m quite keen, especially after hearing from an Italian friend that Corsica is probably more beautiful than Sardinia. Not sure […]

For Jan – Sardinia

I’ve been digging around on You Tube again, and I dug this up. OK, so it’s not a video. It’s more of a promotional slide show with commentary, but, whatever, Sardinia is one beautiful place, as you will see if you watch.

Levanto by night

Levanto certainly looks charming from a distance, although we only passed through it, so I don’t know if it lives up to its promise.  This is not a fresh from the camera shot.  I have had to tweak it a little bit to get some more details to show up.  Anyway,  here is a Levanto […]
