Florence Part Two.

Tonight I have uploaded a few more of D-d's pictures of Florence onto Flickr to share. Again they reminded me of my own visit there so many years ago, although she also saw things that I didn't... including what is now my favourite ceiling of all time and the world's most distracting place to hold a conference...

Totally unrelated; today is my sister's 50th birthday. I can remember, as a small child, spending the summer with my grandparents and there being a phone call one Sunday morning from my Dad to say that I had a baby sister. I was sent to tell my grandfather, who was in his office 'doing the books', a walk of about half a mile - it seemed a perfectly reasonable thing for a five year old to do, here, 50 years ago.

We are going out for a big family lunch tomorrow - I do love a meal I don't have to cook!
