The Italian Holiday – Under The Tuscan Sun – D. January 23, 2016. October 7, 2016. Day 11: Wednesday, 29 July 2015. And now dawns the day for which we are all gathered here the raison d’être for this holiday. Neela’s significant birthday, her 80th. Since the dinner was catered, there was no work, no prep to be done. Five of us Neela, Ritika, Asha, Tinku and I decide to visit Assisi. And, of course, enjoying the oh-so-tempting gelatos (some of us had more than one! Neela, Ritika Tinku, Asha, Neela,. Neela...

The Italian Holiday – Rome, The Eternal City – F. May 12, 2016. Day 22 (Sunday, 09 August 2015). The sun rises and lightly bathes the rooftops of Rome in a warm soft glow on this, the last day of an unbelievably magical holiday, wonderful beyond anybody’s wildest dreams. It is time to return home, we are all a bit subdued. We have seen what we wanted to see, visited the places we had listed …. I have visions of our going through Tom Hanks’s experience in the Steven Spielberg movie,. From 1988 to 2006.

The Italian Holiday – Rome, The Eternal City – E. April 18, 2016. Day 20 (Friday, 07 August 2015). Asha, Ritika and I set out in the morning to do last-minute petty shopping, like picking up some foodstuffs for which Rome, or, rather, Italy, is well-known! Could hardly return home without carrying some of their cheeses Mozzarella di Bufala, Pecorino, Parmigiano-Reggiano; meats, such as mortadella, salami, Bologna sausage, etc., right? In St Peter’s; (centre):. Ecstasy of St. Teresa. R) Michelangelo was o...

The Italian Holiday – Rome, The Eternal City – C. March 9, 2016. March 9, 2016. Day 18 (Wednesday, 05 August 2015). Our numbers are dwindling and soon, as in the nursery rhyme, there will be none left of the original fifteen. Laila leaves at 5 am, back to Delhi. Asha, Ritika and I go back to the Campo, the market, to pick up some pasta, cheese, etc. The choice is maddening. So, we have to get out of the bus, and it is a bit if a trudge, uphill in the hot sun, but, at last we reach. The Villa d’Este...

The Italian Holiday – Rome, The Eternal City – B. February 28, 2016. Day 17 (Tuesday, 04 August 2015). They say the best museum in Rome is the city itself. That may be so, but, we are told that the Galleria Borghese is still a gem worth seeing. It is considered one of the most beautiful museums in Italy, if not the world. Its collections are housed in a magnificent 17th-century villa: in just twenty rooms, one is exposed to antiquities, the Renaissance and the beginnings of baroque art. Peneus saved her ...

The Italian Holiday – Rome, The Eternal City – D. April 2, 2016. Day 19 (Thursday, 06 August 2015). Today, we set off for the Amalfi Coast, in a comfortable SUV, driven by Rocco, a sure, experienced, knowledgeable driver, who keeps us well informed about the areas through which we are passing. Naples with Mt Vesuvius in the background at sunset. A street in Pompeii. Portrait of the baker Terentius Neo with his wife, found on the wall of a Pompeii house. Mt Vesuvius as seen from the ruins of Pompeii.

Mistress Mary, Quite Contrary, How Does Your Garden Grow? October 1, 2016. October 7, 2016. Certainly not with ‘silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row’, as Mistress Mary would have us believe. I would say with hard work, and more hard work: digging, planting, watering, weeding, trimming, repotting, raking, fertilizing, pesticiding and so on and so forth. And, of course, let us not forget, lots of TLC (tender loving care). The more, the better. The gorgeous crab’s claw The orchid.

The Italian Holiday – Rome, The Eternal City – A. February 17, 2016. Day 14 (Saturday, 01 August 2015). Last morning in beautiful, glorious Tuscany. Seen below is a typical valley,. Characterized by all the elements of the Tuscan landscape: vineyards, small forests, wheat fields, olive groves and downey oaks bathed in a fine, early-morning mist. This is the day of dispersal: Yousef splits off in the car for Perugia, a nearby town, from where he will take the flight back to London. You may have noticed th...
