Planning, Planning ...

Plans so far:
The itinery for Italy looks like:

Venice (maybe not this year .. debate rages ...)
Vicenza
Ferrara
Bologna
Moderna
Reggio Emillia
Palma
Genoa

Which seems to me to be a delightful two/three week prospect.

Finding a furnished appartment in Sleaford seems to be almost impossible - we'll have to rent and buy a few sticks to fill the place ... or ...  it'll be Sheffield again - and the buses are free to old folk like me! That means we'll have weekend trips to Prague, Vienna and Amsterdam plus Delf - well it's only filthy lucre ...

Plus, the reason for being in England's green and pleasant, loads of outing to the Peaks and sundry cathedrals, churches, galleries, archaeological sites and such. All this and more. Don't forget there's the visits to Japan each way from Sydney to London.

I still need a project though ...

Oooo Er - Maybe It Is Time to Fly ...

I'm getting that itchy feeling again - in my feet! Keep those mucky thoughts to yourself! Where will it be this time? We'll travel at the beginning of July so I don't fancy sticky, hot weather in Japan, Korea or China which were on the list for the out-bound trip. Dubai equally too hot. America - you have to be joking! It looks like a couple of days in Narita village, just to break the flight to London or some other European city. Then, at least three months in the UK followed by one or two months wandering about Europe and Asia on the way back to Horsetraileeyor. Details about our flat in England are lacking 'cos it seems impossible to find one! So ... it mabe dear Sheffield yet again - ain't life hard for us old folk!
