39. How about just some local day trips?

Surely there are places in your area that merit a day with a picnic?

Italy is outstanding. We are in a region with virtually no tourists, though the reasons of that escape me. Surrounded by medieval towns on hills and exceptional food. I feel privileged to be here before the masses discover it.

Visit us in the Cooking and Baking groups sometime. It's filled with great people and wonderful ideas for your eating pleasure.

So sad about your car. Sure wish you were in a more hospitable corner of the world.

Are you still having your Saturday pub services?
