And bievenu my dear readers/poissons. I'm so very sorry it's been a while between entries. I've yet to finish:
* the Umbrian entry (truffles, beautiful country side, can I recommend Spoletto, Assissi and a small nunnery out of Solarno?);
* my trip to ®Adelaide (where I ate royally, and had a surprise in the inner west under the flight path... Francesco's Osteria, a humble building but authentic Venetian cuisine, reasonable prices and warm hospitality)
*oh yeah, my trip to New Zealand (or Kiwi) where I was introduced to the delights of muscle fritters and kumara chips.
But if you take those points, you can take those entries almost as read.
The reasons for my hiatus are two-fold;
a. because I've been busy with publication production on
Tales of Enlightenment* – my short story collection to arrive in bookstores soon (!!!!), and;
b. I've been slumming it in Camberwell. I know what you're thinking! Boring. But the old dame still has some tricks up her sleeve...
