Italian roses

I

 

These were taken back in 2011 in Este public gardens. I loved Este, but it is a very expensive place to live, as are most places in the Veneto.

 

Otherwise all is very boring here. Winter continues to close in, everyday it gets colder and darker, as does my mood. I don't think I'm suited to this climate, I'd like to spend life somewhere warm and dry and sunny. Back to work tomorrow, the last day of the school holidays, so thankful for that. Still have the remnants of my mini-flu, it's taking ages to clear up, which makes me irritable and depressed at the same time. Boo hoo.
