I am writing what I suppose is a big catch up.  We have been busy and my mind has wandered away from the scribbling that have been this website – and do you know something, I miss this little release so I have decided that I will continue and also I will look to enlarge what I comment on.  As I am writing now I feel I hear a collective grown, but I will do all I can to make it entertaining and informative.

I left off in February and we are now in May, so I have 10 or 11 weeks of news to pop down on these pages, plus I feel we need to enter into the summer plumage for the site – that will involve some choices that might not suit all.  In this phase of catch-up I will be brief so we can actually do that, but we have had some great experiences so those will need more.  Just to give you a flavour of what will come:

We have, in chronological order

• The rest of our trip in February
• Trips to Beaujolais (no great surprises)
• A business trip to London and my first stay in our flat
• A trip to Bolzano and a discovery made
• More Beaujolais
• A weekend with the lovely Mrs N on the shores of Lake Como
• Visitors from the UK
• Easter in the UK
• Back to work whilst the Brits drown in public holidays
• More Beaujolais

This is just a taste of the bits we’ve done

I’ll be filling in some detail and a few gaps over the next couple of weeks...
