I'm alive!

Sorry for the long wait all you fans have had to endure. I am alive and have not forgotten my password. It may just be that life in Italy is so good that I have been enjoying myself too much and have not got round to updating the blog... or maybe I have just been so busy with work and things. Either way I apologise.
In response to my last post, the winning caption is this one, by my good friend, and loyal blogger, James Power (funkijimpow):

"When in Rome, stick out like a sore thumb! Mind you, what strange looking clothes, was it fancy dress? The two on the outside look ok though!"

(if you have time check out James' own blog http://jimpow.blogspot.com).
He has a good sense of humour which I am sure he picked up from me!!!
There were a lot of other good entries and I laughed a lot.
Over the next few month I am going to create a website with lots of info about Italy - for tourists and those wishing to move here. Any requests/info etc would be very much appreciated.
I will try and be a bit quicker updating the blog.
Enjoy the photo.
