Sun and Rain

The first reviews are coming in, always a time to bite nails, but so far so good.

Just a note of thanks to readers, it's a big ask, ten hours, maybe fifteen or more, to step into a new world created in words.

Meanwhile, Lake Orta in the north of Italy, offers sun and occasional thunderstorms that make swimming an experience filled with drama.

Beautiful.

A body of water completely surrounded by land

...I remember the definition, 'a body of water completely surrounded by land' - I even remember the tune from watching Sesame Street with my daughter.

Now, whenever I see a lake, I think of it, even hum it!

Which means I'll be humming a lot for the next few weeks, around Lake Garda, Lake Como and a host of other bodies of water in northern Italy.

In a tent, with a bike!
