Of course there was a snake trying to get in the hot tub, I would expect no less!

I know. We are going to be offering safari tours 30 euro a head - spot the silver snake with free crisp and glass of Prosecco. We may get snake in a hot tub merchandise

In the end, we didn’t brave the hot tub on the final night …

I recognise the photo from the cafe but don’t worry, I won’t spoil your secret. 🤫

I LOVED this one, made me wish I were there - Tuscany, not Blighty - and laughed out loud at “We have taken to tiptoeing in the garden lest we wake them. I digress.” Are you working on 2 projects at once, Shiksa and also Crushing Nettles? Between that and maintaining your real estate empire you’re a marvel. Busy girl!

Yes, a lot of juggling at the moment! But as you know my spirit animal is a dung beetle reversing balls of manure up hills…

From the beauty of an ancient Baptistery to a hot tub loving snake - only you can make this work! 😆 Oh how I miss Italy right now!
