Autumn colours and mist on Pasubio yesterday.

Napoli street scenes.

Tarquinia and the gardens at Reggia di Caserta. If it's good enough for Monty Don that's enough for me.

Angry sky while Dante looks over it all.

Firenze.

A little corner of a foreign camper that will be forever Ireland. First stop Ferrara.

Last Sunday the snow had finally cleared enough to walk the Strada Delle 52 Gallerie (the Path of the 52 Tunnels) the most famous route up Monte Pasubio. It goes from roughly 1200m up to 2000m and was hacked out of the rock in eight months in 1917 by the Italian army to create a supply route to the top of the massif. There they dug trenches and fought the Austrian troops in battles every bit as bloody as the Somme and where there is snow until late June. It was a magnificent hike and I look...

Has the Eurovision song contest taken place yet this year? Only I can't find any mention of it at all on social media...

Painting things. It ain't all gravy...

Spring in Schio in the mountains.

Today I shall mostly be watching Verona v Genoa Serie A

How did I not know this exists? www.slipsum.com for anyone needing placeholder mother****ing text for a webpage. Genius.

Buona festa di San Patrizio a tutti!

From Summano towards Novegno in 17℃ sunshine. Lovely day for a hike in the mountains.
