    Welcome back, Caliban.

    How did your pep talk to the troops go?

    Was the paternal catering up to speed or did you repair to Ye Olde Wevverspoons in the Armstrong Siddley?

      Yes can't argue with the Dave city list - and in fact Anna, I have a bit of a problem with Florence: fine for a day or so but all that art and nothing but is somehow to overt, the centre is just like a big open air museum crowded with tourists. In Italy I much prefer Rome (as Dave says) or possibly my favourite town anywhere, Lucca (They tend to put the right opera composer on the walls there too, and it's the only one who consistently does anything for me too )

      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        Lucca eh?

        I see that it's twinned with ... Abingdon, Berks

        Tell alluring tales of its scents, its sights, its gustatory delights, its promise, Caliban. Sell it to me!!

        That's Lucca, I mean - not Abingdon
