Torna in Italia

Coming soon

The Blog can now announce the next tour will be in September and this is where.

It is Friday afternoon and whilst the tour continues until Sunday The Blog realises no-one will be inclined to read the Blog, if they ever were, after right about now.

So this could be the final post followers see, or not, before The Blog is back at his desk.

So here is a picture of the woods where all things magical, mysterious and sometimes felonious happen.

Invisible Margherita

Finally after waiting nearly 3 weeks The Blog gets to have a refreshing Margherita. And it was good and welcome.

It seems to be invisible but The Blog promises it is really there.

The dress

The generous Blog decided to buy Mrs Hayes a dress to celebrate the completion of her marathon bike tour. To prove it here it is.

It is hanging over something that looks like a carpet cleaner. This is apparently required instead of an because to iron this dress would be to burn it to bits.

Here the helpful shop operative, is this the term to use?, shows The Blog how it works.

Now the Blog has to find where, if anywhere, one of these machines can be purchased and he wishes he had known this before buying the dress.

A rare sight

It is very rare for anyone, including Mrs Hayes, to see your author dressed so inappropriately. But the weather has been exceedingly hot and the beach is only across the road so please be understanding on this occasion. This is as revealing as it ever gets the Blog can assure everyone.

How?

Yes the tour is still in Italy but how the heck do they do this?

Sorry maybe

Longstanding readers of these blogs will no doubt be fed up with seeing the jaunty little tower. Of course others may have been secretly hoping a picture of it would once again be posted on the tour blog.

Of course the tour visited Pisa and of course it had to go and see the tower and surely no blog about a tour of Tuscany would be complete without this picture.

Does it seem to have straightened up a little since we last saw it?
