(Our phone booths used to be yellow, then they became magenta and grey. Now they have almost completely disappeared.)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-61965029338005039952017-06-07T09:53:53.053+02:002017-06-07T09:53:53.053+02:00What more can I say?

The Italian lakes with their boats criss-crossing them constantly fascinate me. Photo 9 had a curious bright yellow addition in the centre which took my eye.

Just make sure you get high quality ice cream. Anything less quickly forms watery ice crystals inside which are not very nice in your tongue, and taste of nothing.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-71364762711214269882017-05-23T21:17:26.857+02:002017-05-23T21:17:26.857+02:00It's so incredibly beautiful, even with the th...It's so incredibly beautiful, even with the thick cloud. The Italian Lakes are just breathtaking. And the affogato - wow. I've just been googling recipes! Apparently the trick is to freeze the glass too, the the ice cream stays as cold as possible when the hot espresso hits it...I may need to do some research. :-) Glad you're having a good holiday though. xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-48570078805771230812017-05-23T12:55:11.426+02:002017-05-23T12:55:11.426+02:00I should have taken a picture of the affogato for ...I should have taken a picture of the affogato for you, Kay!

It is nice to know they are appreciated by at least some of my readers.<br />I have no idea what happened, but numbers have been dwindling drastically, and I suspect most of those who used to read and comment on here are thoroughly bored with my blog.
