Days off ...


National holiday in Italy, and having three days off, we decided for a weekend to the seaside


The weather was fine and some people were having a swim


For me just sunbathing as I am waiting for warmer water... which means at least the end of June!


So, with plenty of time, I lifted up my eyes and admired the varity of the balconies


beautifully enriched with flowers


of different kind...


I walked through the city on block heels


wearing a new pair of earrings ( husband's present from Expo )


Awaiting to show a tanned skin soon!!

  11. What lovely scenery to sit and enjoy, the balconies are beautiful! I really like those earrings too, they remind me of the traditional knot work that you see a lot in New England.

  16. What a wonderful way to spend a three day holiday! Those shoes... I adore them! Every time you take photographs of Italian cities and towns there are the most delightful arrays of flowers. It seems to me that many people take pride in gardening in tiny spaces.

    You look stunning, as always!
