From the 12 October until the 19 October Graham, Joe, Layla Bella and me spent a week in the warmth and sun at ViaGrande Sicily and a wonderful time was had by all. The villa we rented was lovely with a decent sized pool which we all made great use of. Ask where Ruaridh our lovely Border Terrier was--he had a deluxe holiday with our good chums Bob & Bets:)
The flights were good and the car we hired was great. We spent most of our time at the villa enjoying the luxury of the sun and outdoor eating. Though most mornings saw us walking down to the village getting our bread, and lovely roasted onions and peppers along with our ordinary vegetables.
We always stopped to enjoy a coffee and Sicilian lemonade for Bella.
On Wednesday 15 October we visited the fourth century Roman villa near Piazza Armerina -- discovered in 1761-- excavated mainly between 1950--1955. The mosaics were stunning to see and so many.
On Friday 17 October we journeyed to a wonderful beach at Syracuse and a great time was had by all. Sunbathing and swimming in the ocean, Bella loved swimming through the waves.
Sunday saw us on the aeroplane for Britain after having had a lovely holiday.
Ruaridh was delighted to see us:)
