Love the lichens Pat, your hubby spends a lot of time with that chain saw.....your wood burner must be running constantly
Thanks for all the Italy tips.....we are for sure wanting to avoid the touristy stuff we saw up North .......OH has the last of her therapy sessions tomorrow so we will finally get out to the dacha for some garden (watching) therapy
See if you can find books or DVDs called Italy Unpacked - an art hirtorian and a chef touring Italy and seeing the less obvious sites and treasures - 3 series. One on teh north, one hedaing down the west coast and round to Calabria and the third on Sicily. Excellent stuff - http://www.infocobuild.com/books-and-films/travel/italy-unpacked-series2.html If you do decide to go to the more obvious places, definitely book museum and site entries in advance to get a slot and avoid queuing.
We have had a smidgen of rain. Not enough to wet anything except leaves but wet enough to stop OH spraying the drive which is turning green again. He hoed the entire thing just 10 to 14 days ago so isn't happy.
Joyce - pleased you have some sunshine. Expect your garden will like it too.
More lovely lichen Pat.

Dacha, our wood heater hasn't been out since Easter, except for our weekend away recently.
im running out of energy now. Will be an early night I think.
Hubby has developed a cough - dread to think he might have the dreaded lurgy that gave a couple of you cracked ribs last winter. His niece has apparently has a damaged rib from coughing. I believe she lives in Wagga (RAAF) at the moment. I never know where she'll be. His sister who lives in Queensland, told him on the phone yesterday about her daughter's cracked rib. I'm not looking forward to catching it either. I'm booked in for bilateral mammograms in a couple of weeks.
Vitamin D is also important for a good immune system so take some or make sure you get some sunlight on your skin every day. 80% of Belgians are D deficient.
We've had enough rain to wet a few more leaves but it's gone dry again now. Minstrel came in and gave me a damp cuddle. Asleep now with Cosmos who has been helping me sew. Note how he uses her as a pillow!
MOT next and a few errands before walkies and dinner.
That is an impressive wood pile LP.
