50 years on!

It seems quite unbelievable that Peter and I have been married 50 years this May. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge in that time;
four different homes, two beloved children and five equally beloved grandchildren. We decided to celebrate by visiting the gardens of a region of Italy as yet unknown to us, The Italian Lakes, in the company of some old friends who also love their little patch of paradise and appreciate a beautiful garden. Lake Como is just over an hour from Milan airport and we all arrived at the Grand Hotel Menaggio on its shores mid afternoon. The welcome was warm, the sun was shining and the views from our balcony more than lived up to expectations, as you will see.
We sat and enjoyed the celebratory cake provided together with a glass of wine and life was good!
The next few days will involve visits to some of the stunning gardens and their villas in the vicinity.Baca lagi
