Today I am sharing a few photos of our trip to Italy. It rained a lot during the week but we were happy to all be together eating, drinking, playing cards, knitting, crocheting and visiting places.
Looking - at views of Capri island...just about.
Dipping - our feet in the sea at Sorrento.
Learning - about Roman life at Pompeii
Eating - Ice cream in the sunshine.
Drinking - Limoncello
Wearing - my new blouse and lots of other clothes to keep warm on a train in the mountains.
Crocheting - a summer top on a 2mm needle.
Knitting - Merino cable socks. The pattern is tucked under my hem to stop it blowing away. At one point, I also put the completed one on to keep a foot warm!
Happy Holidays but Mamma Mia the weather was rubbish. I will do my usual ing post for June but I just got lazy today and used the verb format to post a quick holiday one for my family and friends.
Thanks for checking in. Jo xxxx
A shame about the weather but glad you had a nice time regardless. Your crochet green top looks nice, very intricate. Cathy x
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely time, despite of the weather. Knitting by the pool is always nice and Pompeii is fun to visit, too. Did you get a chance to see Herculaneum in Naples? My favourite Roman site in this neck of the woods. I would love to visit Sorrento one day and revisit all those Roman sites, and the volcano of course. I was 12 when I last went.... Looking forward to your June....ing post. I am working on mine, slowly, very slowly. xx
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, Herculaneum was much better than Pompeii and the children enjoyed it more too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to holiday even if the weather wasn't great. I bet your girls loved seeing all the new sights. I'm not a fan of the limoncello myself. x
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame about the weather but sounds like a good time had by all none the less.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a good time despite the weather. What a shame, we half expect it here but you hope for better things when you go abroad! Fancy having to wear a finished sock on holiday!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the bad weather but it all looks wonderful to me. Italy is my dream vacation/
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame about the weather but it doesn't look as though it stopped you doing anything fun.
