Just a quick pic for now

So much for the idea of a blog diary of our Italian course - we are just working too hard. However we had an outing to Alberobello yesterday evening and I arranged a religous parade for the girls. Here you can see the town's patron saint on her way to the church.

We had a good view point as we were investigating cafe society just then.

Here's a good view of the little Trulli houses. They were originally made with dry stone walls - as there was a tax on houses this meant that they could be instantly turned back into walls when a inspector called.

The church was interesting - it had a great door.

After the walking and the cafe bit, we raised our game and went for cocktails.

Then we staggered off to our restaurant to have an amazing meal. The antipasto was so huge that only two of us managed a main course.

Back to work today, slaving in a hot studio.

What a fab door! I can see those Trulli Houses working as a smashing fabric collage. Glad to see you took crative refuge in the cocktails, lets face it many of them are design virtuosos in themselves!
