Oooh @chicky … I love Florence … as well as the Uffizi, and the Palazzo Vecchio and the Baptistry etc …. fabulous leather goods on the market … and a trip up to Fiesole for the sunset ❤️

I’ve been told to make sure and visit Boboli gardens too, and Mr C wants to pay a visit to the Galileo museum. Good job we’re there for a few days. Getting excited 😆
Probably not the right person to ask @Dovefromabove - my tolerance to dust is extremely high 🤪 - I’ve trained myself, over many, many years, to not notice it at all 🤣

I'm still practicing , so far with great success.
I had to laugh this morning when putting Hubby's laundry in his wardrobe. I put the T shirts on the bed, he picked one up and said " This needs ironing " Bless'im
I love Florence too. We had a wonderful holiday in Florence and Tuscany with some very good friends. OH bought me a pearl necklace in a jewellers on the Ponte Vecchio, it was very romantic.
My hands have recovered from the goose grass weeding the other day, but I was tying up a plant today and there was a stinging nettle in the middle of it!
I've planted my new geranium "Summer Skies" and 4 osteospermums.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Never been to Florence. Rome, Venice, Siena, Assisi, all round there - never quite got to Florence. Maybe one day.
We've made a start building the greenhouse today. The four sides are done and all joined together. Hopefully it'll be stable enough to stand there now for a week 'til we can do a bit more next weekend. Now I'm a bit sunburnt and very tired.
Hope you're all OK

Love Florence, but OH suffered the worst mozzie bites ever while we were there . We were staying in the lodge house of a bigger estate and they had a lake, but beware. 😨
On an entirely different note just watched a lovely programme on BBC4, Guitarist John Williams, excerpts of past appearances on the Beeb over several decades. I had seen it before and have all the pieces played in my music collection but still good to see. They showed some of his duets with Julian Bream, sad to note JB died in 2020, that event seems to have passed me by. Williams himself is 81 now, not sure if he is still performing.
Sitting looking out over the river Dee, with a pint in my hand. Tomorrow morning, we will visit MIL and hopefully take her and her wheelchair out for a few hours.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
