SIX MINUTE SESSION

Only six minutes on the Littelhmpton library site left so must do a quick blog - must also do a blog on this town, LA as we call it here.
Just back from Italy - arrrived at Brixton around midnight and to be an hour or so later and then up at seven to do Stonehenge and Bath - not my favourite day trip and not ideal immediately after holdiay but never turn down work, in the winter at least. We had a good day in the end and a forty pound tip which I was v pleased with - do the Inland Revenue read these sites I wonder?
Italy was clean, uncrowded and relaxing. We had a few days in Brescia visiting Verona (crowded around Juliet's balcony which I am sure is usual) Lake Garda - palm trees and snow int he same photo (snow on distant mountains) but not Milan so did not see Da Vinci Last Supper which would have been unremarkable having seen it so much in reproduction. (I agree with Dan Brown that the figure next to Christ looks very female but with little else int he book.) Enjoyed watching couples strolling along inthe evening in their smart clothes, the women as often as not in fur coats (wouldn't happen here).
Then to Venice to finish off and back to Bath/Stomnes.
Minutes up so must log off...
