Sweetpea studies up on the local lingo.
We are currently travelling around Europe with different sections of English hubby's family. First stop was my mother-in-law's house in the Marche region of Italy - she and her partner purchased it last year but may not stay there permanently so it was both our introduction to it and possibly the last time we'll see it. (more on that later...)
My sister has been encouraging (okay, pestering) me to get some photos online so here are the first batch - our travel companions for the first leg of our trip...
gelato, a daily staple. sometimes multiple times.
al fresco dining at the house with the lovely neighbours.
the family, in tolentino
hanging out with one English auntie, and catching a snooze on Grandad.
sightseeing with other English auntie and Grandad, and milling aimlessly in town.
relaxed English hubby
out on the town for one last dinner with everyone....
...plus another random street shot, as we get stuck in the middle of a religious celebration in San Ginesio.
...and what would a vacation be without at least one hand-held self-portrait with English hubby?
More soon, as I need to return my mother-in-law's laptop to her which she is kindly sharing. Hope you are all enjoying your summers thus far! If I haven't visited you lately, now you know why.
cheers all.
