Buongiorno Firenze

Thunderstorms were forecast for Florence this week but although huge grey clouds loomed overhead, the sun continued to shine. So, my first stop this morning was Gilli’s cafe on Piazza della Republica. After class, I just had to window shop and then enjoyed a late lunch with friends in the Oltrarno area.

go GOZO go

Italy has a national holiday on the 2nd June so I grabbed the opportunity to jet off for some sun. Gozo is a tiny island in the Mediterranean sea, it boasts pre – historic temples dating to 6000 BC, beautiful sea and sun kissed limestone houses. Just the place to relax before returning to Florence […]

February Sunshine

I love the way most Florentines dress up on the coldest days – wonderful hats, caps, coats and scarves. It’s inspirational to see even the elderly so elegantly attired. It has been a mild February and here are […]

Magnificent Milan

I caught the Freccia Rossa from the Florence SMN and was in Milan in 90 minutes. Unfortunately most of the museums are closed Mondays. So I set off to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele right next to the Duomo. The street style in Milan is impressive. I explored the Rinascente which reminded me of Harvey Nic’s […]

Weekend Break In Malta

After sitting some exams last week, I decided that I needed some sunshine. So off I went to Malta, an island bang in the middle of the Mediterranean. The sun did shine the whole time I was there and here are a few of my photos of this beautiful island. Clockwise from top : Jacket […]
