    We went to the Vatican 2018
    I gave the guide some historical information
    One and only British pope Nickolas Breakspear Adrian 4th born in Langley St Albans 1145-1159
    She now uses it as part of her spiel

    Where in Lake Garda are you off to? It’s a only a couple of hours drive so we’ve been there a few times. Absolutely love it.

    We’ve just come back from a few days in Sirmione which was great. We were also there earlier in the year staying near Bardolino. Never ventured round the west or north of the lake but have been to most places between Peschiera and Garda.

    We’re heading to southern Italy - near Ostuni in Puglia later in the summer and can’t wait.

    I got a job there in 1987. Was due to start on a Monday morning, packed the car with my stuff, said my goodbyes to my Mam & Dad and set off from Washington on the Sunday about 7.00pm.
    Got as far as the Chester Moor pub, thought "**** it", turned round and went to Cherry Tree pub in Ayton.
    Nice hotel mind.

    I got back last Tuesday from a fortnight travelling around Uzbekistan (with a few days in Tajikistan). I had a brilliant time.

    In the last few years I've got into the habit of having a few days away in mid-August, given I've got bugger all work then. I just go through the cheap flights sites and go for a cheap deal. I went to Poznan last year for €45, and Zadar the year before for €20, TBH just because they were cheap, but they turned out to be gorgeous places. It'll be something similar this year.
