The photographs are numerous and spectacular. The places, sights and sounds will be memories for ever. Maybe the memory of eating pasta every day will wain even though at this stage she has sworn off it for life. We still have to create a photo album capturing the best of them but that will take place at a later stage. I received a beautiful Italian leather handbag which I have proudly used almost every day since receiving it.
Trying to catch up with our Miss Germany's in London was apparently a bit of a trial as their trusty mobile phones played up. Logic, cunning, guess work and good timing then became the name of the game and when they finally got together there was much hilarity as Babe sneaked them into her room. Miss Germany x 2 hid (giggling) in the small wardrobe to avoid being sprung by a roving teacher. As much as we love our teachers the novelty of having them breathing down the girls backs had worn off by the time they hit 'ol London town.
Babes favourite spot?
Orvieto in Italy. Orvieto is a city in southwestern Umbria, Italy situated on the flat summit of a large butte of volcanic tuff. The site of the city is among the most dramatic in Europe, rising above the almost-vertical faces of tuff cliffs that are completed by defensive walls built of the same stone. The girls stayed at Fattoria La Cacciata, a farm where Nonna taught them how to make fresh pasta. Nonna also had a cat which Babe was able to stroke. I think she missed Cuddles as much as Cuddles missed her. Thank you Nonna for leaving such a lasting impression on our little darling.
