Unforgettable, one of my all time favourite songs. Isn’t it yours? I don’t even have to mention Nat King Cole and it’s smouldering away in your head. He certainly had that “unforgettable” quality.
Some of you know that I have just experienced one of the most unforgettable weekends of my life- the wedding of my daughter Lisa to Leonardo. The honeymoon alone is worth a post, and I wasn’t even there! But I will tell you that they had snow in Venice- a magical thought. It swirled around the lagoon like a giant snowdome. And the claxons sounded for Aqua Alta whilst they were at a masked ball. The water rose and rose to the first floor of the hostess’ home in Ca D’Oro, and they had to remain till 4.30 in the morning when the level had dropped sufficiently to escape. Never mind- the band and the opera singers played on, and the food was good. I think that definitely comes in the category of “unforgettable”, but the memory isn’t mine to cherish.
-
- Lisa and Leonardo, hand in hand, as they shoud be
-
- Where I like to end my days- my Tavira roof top
-
- Sunrise on my roof terrace, the moon still in the sky
-
- Appearing in the Carnaval myself at Loule was unforgettable
-
- “That” bridge- I’ve shown you it from every angle
-
- Tavira beach with its lone cockle shell hunter
-
- An almond blossom walk through the Algarve countryside
-
- A very special city for me, Porto
-
- And that long dreamed of trip on the Douro

Your description just transports! We are hoping to get to Venice, it is sad to hear that it is slowly sinking.. Your daughter and her husband look fantastic!

Thanks, Smidge! It’ll wait for you, I’m sure. Aqua Alta cannot do much for the foundations, but it’s survived all these years. (I pinched a few of her Venice photos for my Six word Saturday this week)

We had one perfect sunny day, one drizzly one (spent mainly inside a Port lodge) and one in between so not bad for February! Hope to start going through the photos and writing it all up soon.
