and now we're back.
The boys had a week off school and so we took a little family holiday in Tuscany to see my parents.
Relax was the name of the day and nothing much was done.
We walked a little
in the cold Autumn air
We, well I, shopped
and went to a concert with my sister
We discovered a wonderful restaurant
(and if my camera hadn't died I would have shown you the food.... oh how glorious... sigh)
We spent time together, we laughed, we played, we saw long lost friends.
We woke up and smelt (or smelled?) the roses...
I love Eros Ramazzotti!!! Sounds like you had a nice holiday!

Going home can be so rejuvenating. I'm glad you were able to relax and enjoy yourself-- with good food and good company.
