I hope you will enjoy your first trip to Italy. I think you will as there is nothing to dislike in my opinion. How long are you here for? Tourists often make the mistake of trying to see too much and not really seeing anything if you know what I mean. Just skimming the surface of the tourist attractions and not lingering long enough to just enjoy being here. August is when all the Italians are on holiday and there is a bank holiday on the 15th, advisable to avoid travelling around then if you can.<br />Anyway have a great trip and I hope you will continue to enjoy a little bit of Italy by visiting my blog.<br />Yes, the Persian Acacia is a very special tree isn't it.LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-70925679364277728722010-07-19T23:16:44.655+02:002010-07-19T23:16:44.655+02:00My favorite tree ever!

We had a mimosa in our Italian garden until our gardener decided to cut it down and charge us 100 euro for doing so. He said it was a danger to our garden wall but never consulted us, I was not best pleased. I am in a very bad mood as its been raining for the last two days here in Scotland.Jennyffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133651986287619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-44441023805291412772010-07-15T12:37:46.964+02:002010-07-15T12:37:46.964+02:00How exotic!

Do you know the White viburnum or Snowball Tree? Good luck with the veggies, your own certainly have much more flavour I think.<br /><br />Saretta - It is still looking surprisingly green here!LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-47821225388307396302010-07-13T15:22:13.856+02:002010-07-13T15:22:13.856+02:00That's so lovely and delicate, I can see why y...That's so lovely and delicate, I can see why you are fond of it.

We do have some potatoes, onions and garlic growing though. I do love salads though and have some rocket, spinach, american land cress and mixed leaves growing in pots which I'm looking forward to sampling.<br /><br />I think growing our own veg will make us enjoy it more and really appreciate it.<br />JadeNo Longer 25https://www.blogger.com/profile/08406384646112029699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-23471162555187326062010-07-13T12:39:04.483+02:002010-07-13T12:39:04.483+02:00Thank you so much for identifying this beautiful b...Thank you so much for identifying this beautiful blossom.
