…………… after Mum’s funeral which we are spending a few days in the UK for. Meanwhile I am leaving you with a few old photographs of some of the places we took my parents on their visits to us in Italy. Happy Memories.
The Roman Viaduct just outside Tarquinia.
Tarquinia in the distance.
There are a number of stretches of viaduct that can be seen in this area.
Tarquinia Museum.
Basilica of San Pietro in Tuscania.
The Etruscan necropolis at Sutri with many of rock-cut tombs, there is also a Roman amphitheatre cut from the tufa rock.
Vetralla as seen from the surrounding countryside.
Outside one of our favourite places in Viterbo the Gran Caffe Schenardi, which has been a cafe since 1818!
Enjoying our Garden
My Sister and Mum in Marta, this one and the remaining photos were taken a few years later.
Partial view of the Lago di Bolsena taken from Montefiascone.
Capodimonte, the town on the left in the photo above.
Finally Mum loved the wild cyclamen that grow here in carpets in the woods in the late summer early Autumn. Simply glorious I will now always think of her when I see them.

See you all next week.
