A SPOT of
what I suspect is food poisoning has made me late for my end-of-month posting
for February… please forgive.
Anyhow, our
month seems to have been taken up with holiday plans – we’ve decided to risk Italy again
this year. (I know, I know, some folk never learn from past mistakes!)
At least this
time we’re going to the other end of the country, Venice,
the Dolomites and the Italian
Lakes.
We’ve discovered
this dinky hotel up on Lake
Molveno, which looks so
pretty and peaceful, and if comments on Trip Adviser are to go by, is excellent
in matters both of hospitality and cuisine.
And best of
all it has an adapted room which is wheelchair accessible – just right for My
Good Lady.
Our plan –
which is still in the flux stage – is to fly to Venice and drive up in a rental
car; a couple of weeks of peace and relaxation and plenty of good books, then a
couple of final nights in the Serene Republic itself.
Sounds like
bliss – no?
Mentioning
books, MGL and I have been wondering whether to invest in one of Kindle type e-book
readers.
The honest
truth is we’re both a little nervous of technology – it tends to break down on
us. Books – proper books – don’t pack up on you just as you reach the
story’s dénouement.
Oh, I know
you can’t carry hundreds of titles in one slim package – but why should we want
to? A couple of good authors each should be plenty to keep us thrilled and
entertained.
Pair of Luddites,
or what?
