Hot stuff

And I'm not just refering to Vesuvius. We, crazy fools that we are, chose a scorching day to visit the volcano and climb to the top of the crater! Tiring, ridiculously warm, but what an experience! We had a wonderful couple of days visiting the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum, as well as our Vesuvius moment, but we're glad to back in Rome and able to relax for the rest of our stay.
More photos when we get back...

New favourite bed

This is the result of our hard work creating a new flower bed in the garden (well, we needed somewhere to put all the plants we keep buying!)
Off to Blackpool this weekend with the Business Affairs girls, then Rome on Monday. I can't wait... planning on riding 'The Big One' in Blackpool (if someone will ride with me!) and looking forward to getting a bit of sunshine in Italy.
Crazy British weather...
