Italy

We had a short trip to Italy in July to see some old friends, Tony and Mary Escott who, having retired from work some years ago, now live in a pretty apartment overlooking Lake Lugano near the Swiss border. I used to work with Tony at the BBC Wales studios. He and his wife are both excellent hosts and cooks, what better for a short break...

When we arrived, it was very hot; after a few days the temperature plummeted after a severe storm, giving some atmospheric pics.

The weather is about to break; it breaks big time with violent winds and torrential rain

From time to time, my friend Tony sends me some pics that he takes in and around northern Italy.
