Spettacolo Pirotecnico




Last Wednesday evening, July 29th we attended the second of Marta’s firework displays. This one was in honour of the Patron Saint of Marta and took place in the harbour area, with the most fantastic display over the lake. I have posted just a couple of my favourite shots here but if you would like to view the full set let me know. They are also online at www.flickr.com and I can send you an invite to view them there. Or if you are a friend of mine on www.facebook.com they are also in the Marta Estate Album.

Windsurfing!





A recent day at the beach, last week in fact.Delighted to report that I made a little progress with my windsurfing and wanted to share the results with you. I suspect I have peaked now but it is fun trying!
