Rome, Italy

After Abruzzo, we went to Rome. Stayed in a flat up 5 floors (105 steps - ouch!) but in a nice central area. We ate well, and saw all the sites. It's a great city.


Here's the Collosseum



The Trevi Fountain



The Spanish Steps



The Vatican Museums



The Roman Forum



Some great food



Tasty churches, with beautiful decor



and met some lovely people

Abruzzo, Italy

In August stayed in the beautiful medieval walled town of Penne. Our rented apartment was beautiful, every morning wake up, step out onto the balcony and see this



and in the evening, the sunset was perfect too, with the mountains looming high over the windy roads and farmland of rural Abruzzo.





The countryside was lovely



but the beaches were a bit mad



But a really lovely area.

A lot of fun.

Simple Folk Radio show

Yesterday I visited the radioreverb.com studio to guest DJ with Dillon on his Simple Folk Radio show.

Interesting experience and a lot of fun. This is the playlist. Wish I'd had more than a day's notice but still, quite pleased with it all.

What if we woke up?
