People and Places

For LL

In the main LL this is a reflection of the women I met in Italy during my six months, or so, of living there, and learning the language. There are a few other places visited and stayed at too, but mainly it is a gallery of different people in different places in Italy. This time they come with faces, but well separated from any past or future blog showing them in, shall we say a little more detail. That is not to say that the people here are all necessarily the ones in the blogs I refer to.

In that wonderful and beautiful time I spent in Italy of over six months, I had many interesting experiences. I've always had an aptitude for languages. When I arrived in Italy with only the most rudimentary knowledge, I set about learning the language and enjoying the experiences I refer to. They went hand in hand. I didn't set out to find a language teacher as I planned on moving around the country, but naturally I armed myself with a number of books and a laptop to assist in my quest. My 'language teachers' were in part my 'experiences'. I think you will get the drift.

My travels took me to Milan, Bergamo, Venice, Verona, Florence, Rome, Naples, Puglia and Sicily, along with many places in between. I will elaborate more in a future blog, as I have said above, but for now here are a selection of the places and women I spoke about....

I think that will do for now. You have some faces to think about. Some were in the picture, so to speak, while you were still with me, but when you were 'playing away'. You, as you will realize, are not in their class and you were never in the same league as my late wife or indeed my now wife.

The blog is intended to remind you that I was never reliant upon you once I found out. It will also serve as a reminder of the sort of women I really like. You were never in the same league and still aren't, in fact you've slipped to the fourth division to use a soccer metaphor.
