    Getting ready for birthday/christening

    2017年8月12日, イングランド ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    We let Finn have a couple of his bigger birthday presents today ready for tomorrow so he can get to play with them before everybody else arrives. He is very excited about the kitchen so he can cook food for everyone!

    This afternoon I stayed out of the way while the food preparation is going on for tomorrow, and to see Lincoln city's first game back in the football league. Great amosphere, 8000+ crowd, and fly-past from the Battle of Britain flight.    もっと詳しく

    Last day!

    2017年6月23日, トルコ ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    This week has gone so fast, can't believe we are going home tomorrow! It was really hot today, 34 degrees and not much wind. We went on the boat into dalyan and had a play in a playground, then sat and had lunch beside the river. Before having an afternoon by the pool.もっと詳しく

    A day by the pool

    2017年6月22日, トルコ ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    One of the great things this week has been that since Monday we have been the only people here. When we arrived there was a party of 16 women, and one man, from Brighton who come every year for a week of yoga. Since then we've had it all to ourselves which has been wonderful for Finlay to wander round and go in the pool.

    Pics today are a selection of the fruit trees, and a cricket we found. We also saw what we thought was an eagle soaring overhead, but by the time I'd got my camera it had soared off! Fruits in the pics are plums, oranges, lemons, apricots, and pomegranates. See if you work out which are which!    もっと詳しく

    A day at the beach

    2017年6月21日, トルコ ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    One boat trip into Dalyan, then another to the beach. Altogether maybe an hour and a quarter, so a nice ride but not very convenient. By the time we got to the beach it was SO hot that we only spent an hour there before coming back again. Still, nice to get your toes into the sand, and a bit of wave jumping. Yesterday afternoon it was 34 degrees, today a little less but without much wind. In the cliffs above the river are Lycian tombs dating to the 4th century BC.もっと詳しく

    First day in Dalyan

    2017年6月18日, トルコ ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    We got up late, including Finlay, and had a good breakfast and went on the boat in to town. Bought a few things, had a look around , and an early lunch. It was supposed to be a light lunch but we love the food here so much that we just pigged out! Back on the boat, and an afternoon with Finlay in and around the pool.もっと詳しく

    Arrival

    2017年6月17日, トルコ ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Met Natalie, Andy, Finlay and Emily at Birmingham at about 4.30 a.m. The flight was 4 hours both kids were absolutely perfect, even Finlay was as good as gold. Arrived at the hotel in time to wander round, go in the pool and get settled. Finlay is in our room and was so tired he went straight to sleep with no problems. Emily is in with Natalie and Andy. Wonderful dinner for us all, the food is as good as it always was. Tomorrow we plan go go on a shopping trip into to town - which will be by boat!

    Problem with the blog - it doesn't seem know where we are. Might be an annoyance!    もっと詳しく

    Sightseeing in Pisa part 2

    2017年6月5日, イタリア ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Next on the list was the Camposanto. It's the burial ground for important Pisans and has been in use from Crusader times. It's a large grass rectangle surrounded by arcades in stone. People are buried in the floors, walls and re-used Roman and Etruscan sarcophagi and there are the remains of medieval frescos on the walls. It is a lovely space and fascinating. Last of the monuments was the Duomo - the cathedral - from the 12-13c. It was a bit disappointing as there is a lot of restoration going on and the main mosaic was hidden by a platform and some areas are cordoned off. Also the columns are plain dark granite and the paintings dark and not particularly special. The facade though is lovely and the wooden ceiling is covered in gold leaf, courtesy of the Medicis.もっと詳しく

    Sight seeing in Pisa part 1

    2017年6月5日, イタリア ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Having just wandered around yesterday, today we embarked on serious sightseeing but first we went to a daily food market in one of the piazzas which made us wish we had self catering facilities and time to buy and cook some. We then went to the University of Pisa's small Egyptian museum which has a small but lovely collection of items, many from Sudan. After these diversions we went to the Piazza dei Miracoli which houses the main sites - the Duomo, the leaning tower, the Baptistry and the Camposanto. We had decided not to go up the tower as its a 35 min timed ticket and a rush up and down - and it costs 17 euros. All these monuments are in a corner of the Medieval walls which encircle most of the city.
    We started at the Baptistry - a circular building with two domes on top. It's pleasant but not as spectacular as the one in Florence as there are no frescoes inside - they ran out of money. You get a nice photo of the front of the Duomo from a window in the Baptistery.    もっと詳しく

    Travel to Pisa

    2017年6月4日, イタリア ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    We left Siena by train this morning and went to Pisa, with just one change on the way. The second train was very crowded as it was the fast express from Florence to Livorno, but we managed to get seats. This afternoon we just wandered around Pisa getting our bearings, finding the leaning tower, cathedral and the main streets, and having icecream! Every where we go here there seems to be a fantastic selection of flavours of icecream, today's special flavour was Tuscany beer, but I avoided that and went for strawberry cheese. Yum!もっと詳しく

    Wine tastings

    2017年6月2日, イタリア ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    After a morning relaxing in the garden and pool we went to visit a couple of nearby vineyards, one just down the road and one a little further but with a fine castle. This is Chianti country and I've been surprised and delighted with the quality of wines here. Even the house wines by the jug in the restaurants have been really good. I guess in my mind I think of Chianti as the cheap stuff we used to get in England in straw covered bottles, but I've been really impressed with the quality of these wines.
    In the evening we went to a restaurant that is Michelin star quality in Radda in Chianti and had a wonderful meal. This is very much on the tourist circuit and all the diners were non-Italian.    もっと詳しく

    A day out in Siena

    2017年6月1日, イタリア ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Today we went into Siena and had a look around. It's not a big city but the centre is beautiful with lots of medieval buildings and winding streets. The centre square is actually semicircular and strangely dished down towards the old town hall which is now a fine museum. The rooms in the museum are totally covered with frescos dating to the 1400's, and there is a chapel where the choir stalls are each decorated with inlaid marquetry scenes, which appear original. This square is where the famous horse race - the Palio - takes place , but I can't imagine how they do it with the centre packed by crowds for hours. On to the cathedral which is very ornate but magnificent, with amazing scenes imbedded in the floor in coloured marble, and some Michaelangelo statues. We had a late lunch in a small bar/restaurant known to Jacqui and Rob, and stopped afterwards for obligatory icecream.もっと詳しく

    Relaxing day

    2017年5月31日, イタリア ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

    After breakfast on the loggia with distant views of Siena, we had a lazy day around the pool, swimming and inspecting Jacqui & Rob's 1.2 acres. Part is a small oak wood but most is filled with olive trees and cherry, apple, pear, apricot and peach trees. They have small vegetable patches. We are eating the cherries with every meal and they are lovely. They crop about 300kg of olives each year and take them to the village olive press to make their own olive oil which is delicious - hoping to bring some back with us.Late afternoon we went on a drive northwards to some pretty towns that are on the Chianti tourist trail and again had some yummy ice cream. Most of the land around here is planted with vines and there are many places offering Chianti tastings. We plan to go to one later in the week.This evening we went to the nearest village - 10 minutes drive- for a really good pizza dinner.もっと詳しく

    Arrival in Perugia

    2017年5月30日, イタリア ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

    We flew from Stansted to Perugia where Jacqui & Rob were waiting for us. They suggested a visit to Assisi, which is nearby before going to their villa near Siena. Assisi is a nice hilltop town , typical of the region, with a main square where we had a very good lunch, and we went to see the rather peculiar double cathedral of St Francis. There are two churches, one on top of the other. Both are covered with murals dating back to 1317, and downstairs is a crypt rather plainer, with the tomb of St Francis. On the way from Assisi to Siena we stopped at a lakeside and had some really good icecream! Their house is a three-story villa on a hillside with views of Siena in the distance, and surrounded with a parcel of land growing trees such as olives, cherries, apples, pears, figs and plums.もっと詳しく
