And not in the nuthouse variety, just busy with the "w" word - you know, w - o - r - k.... brrrr...  I've got to wash my mouth out now..

Anyway, things are slowing down for a moment and I've missed seeing the great work here and having time to share my own stuff (nevermind time to wander with my camera - soon...).

So, I went to Rome for New Years. It was beautiful, although I think my heart still calls to the UK more.  But how many places have such unforgettable landmarks.  And then there's the   Pope's Home.  

I also saw some of Southern Italy with a friend including an afternoon on the isle of Capri.  

There are of course, tons more, but I skimmed through and those are the ones that called to me.
