Thank you so very much Kathleen, for both the kind words and for the recommendation. Believe it or not, you’re the 2nd person to recommend this series to me! Next time I am at the book store, a place I visit monthly, I will have to keep an eye out for this series – it truly does sound interesting.

Very much agreed!

Oh yes, leave work at home, it’ll be there when you get back!

I know very well what you mean, William. My hometown just next door is/was under the same type seige, and a huge amount of once family homes are now AirBnB spots, vacant for much of the year, making it near impossible for folks like my husband and I to find a place to live. Between finding a place and the new explosion in pricing, we had to look elsewhere. This was also happening in Niagara-on-the-Lake when we left, and seems to be a problem in most touristic cities. A real shame.

I appreciate your kind words and support, and hope, amongst many other things, that you’ll be able to secure spots at your favorite local restaurants quickly. And may the farms continue to thrive!

Thank you so much, Cynthia. I am so glad my photos and stories bring you along on my journeys. I hope all is well with you and that your April will be filled with happiness. Take care!

Thank you very much 🙂 The trip was wonderful, and I wanted the photos to do the beauty of the city justice, which is hard to do. I’m sure you’ll get back to Venice soon, perhaps this summer! And thank you for the well wishes on my birthday.

Just love to hear of your travels. Been to France and really do appreciate the quality of life there and the scenery and the food.
Happy birthday to you!
Please keep on bringing your travelogue and your recipes too to your readers. We can daydream of being there again.
Finally, I am glad to hear of your Easter celebration.

Best wishes,

Cynthia
