from Venice with love...

 which way to go, so many lovely little streets to explore...
 ahh, the bridge of sighs...
the boys loved the gondolas and taking photos with daddy's camera!



Our October holiday was well loved, Maya went to the terme di |Comano for thermal baths for her excema. We went up to the Dolomites and it was beautiful and then we had a day in Venice at the end. It was the first time the boys had seen Venice and they were facinated by the boats, the winding streets, the music in San Marco at night. Of course we did get lost a couple of times. We stayed in a little apartment on a canal and they were always at the window the whole time, watching all the boats go by, carrying laundry, newspapers, the police boat. I think they both want to become gongoliere's now!

Summer photos

Thinking of some summer sun now that winter is here, and wanted to share our trip to Italy this summer. We had a lovely meal with family at Callo Spelli for Matteo's 40th! And then we went down near Grossetto for a couple of days away....


It was a very good year for mushrooms in Scotland, our freezer is full and we were drying porcini for days!




My my how time flies!

It's been so long I almost forgot my password here! Well where to start, we're still in Scotland and we have a little daughter now. Maya is just one and this past year has flown by. She brings joy to all around her. The boys adore her and still fight to be with her. She's getting into everything and almost walking. She says 'ciao' and waves when she sees daddy in his biking outfit or whenever we turn the computer on, she's used to skype already! There's not much time for anything anymore, but I thought I could at least update this and say hello after quite some time...
