Thank you Harlan – I’m glad you liked my writing. I’ve run a travel business all my life. We learn so much from travelling and observing. Over the years I’ve realised that the majority of people are kind, honest and full of integrity. The human spirit is a wonderful thing. Thank you for showing your appreciation.

Sincerely,
Harlan

Hi, Janet
I can’t believe that it is 4 years since we enjoyed that idyllic week which you arranged for us (and even joined us for part of the week) at the fantastic Hotel i Tre Baroni in Arrezzo. Italy is a country we love, not least because it offers everything- particularly your three estimable motivations of “people, place, and journey” in abundance – plus the other two you didn’t mention – culture and food (or, in order of importance to Margaret, food and culture!). (For any new readers of Janet’s Blogs, I can’t recomend either the author or her recommenations too highly!)
Having read with interest and anticipation your statement that Villa Cordevigo is “the best hotel I’ve stayed in”, I can’t wait to share that experience. If it is as good as (or better than – surely impossible) i Tre baroni, then guests at Villa Cordevigo are on for a real treat.
Om a totally different note, having throughly enjoyed the rest of your blogs, at the risk of lowering the tone substantially, your quotation of the first four lines of Edward Thomas’s “Adlestrop” did have a certain limerickian (?) quality, which therefore reminded me of my favourite Limerick, which will provide a suitable light-hearted note on which to end this posting:
“There was a young Poet from Peru
Whose limericks always stopped at line two…”

Well done, on this Website, Janet – to which I am pleased to award my much-coveted,highly sought-after and rarely-achieved Triple “E” Grade: Excellent, Erudite and Entertaining.
Keep up the good work, and full power to your elbow, hands, legs, and whatever other parts of your anatomy are brought into use in producing such a readable and fabulous Blog!
Love
John

Morning Jules – I’m in Chicago. I read your blog about Sicily and loved it. So Mediterranean and so typical. I left a comment on Veronica’s site but I’m not sure you’ll see that.The post office incident brought back many memories to me of places like Athens, Cairo and Istanbul. I’m assuming that when you were at the PO it was boiling hot, completely airless and you had sweat trickling down your spine. You will have been the only person in the place struggling with the heat…….although of course you may have been as cool as a cucumber.The joys of a Yorkshire man abroad!
