The tree is down,the cards are going for recycling.All the decorations are sorted.We have had a clear out.Some have not seen the light of day in years.We found some that we like,but the 'kids' did not deem them good enough to put out this year.Mrs Postman tells me WE will dress the tree in Dec.
Mrs Postman has also decided a blitz on clearing out the house is on the cards for the better weather.Oh hooray i think not.Trips to the tip and charity shops,oh wonderful.

Venice, a city very close to my heart.

If you're going to Venice, go to Chioggia (where the beetroot come from). It's at the south end of the lagoon, on the Adriatic, loads of accommodation (cheaper than in Venice), has canals, a huge fish market, pleasant piazze, beaches and all things Italian and gives access to the Po valley and nature reserve. The biggie is that you can go to Venice by boat from the mainland to Pellestrina and Pellestrina to Lido and bus through the islands for about a tenner, leaving just a short vaporetto trip to St Mark's. If you go by bike, you have to pedal as fast as the bus (but it can be slowed down by cycling in the middle of the road to block its progress, so I'm told).

I like Chioggia beetroot:okay:

I've just done a nice ride round the lanes but fairly slow and I walked down the one downhill in the shade as a precaution! (Also ended up walking the last but up it, not because I couldn't cycle it but because I ended up with bad cramp in my right foot).

The 3D imaging was amazing.

Looking forward to the next episode on Venice, a city very close to my heart.

We've been to Venice twice, stayed in Ledo Dejeselo both times and had a day in Venice. The first time out was an organised trip, but the second one we organised it ourselves, we looked at the price of the organised trip and said how much! We had an amazing day and walked miles, one of the highlights was the amazing little back street pizza place we found for lunch.
