Had a wonderful weekend in Rome 2 weeks ago. I've never been anywhere quite like it, most cities have an old town but the whole of Rome is the old town, just every street you go down has something fantastic to see. Our hotel was in the most amazing location, only 10 minutes from the Trevi Fountain & right next door to the Parliament, so since we've been back & watching the news we keep seeing it, didn't see Belesconi thankfully!

Me in St Peters Square - 1/2 mile queue to get in the Basilica!
The Sistine Chapel
The Colisuem
The Pantheon
The Trevi Fountain
Definitely a place to go back to, as far too much to see in a weekend.
Didn't take my knitting with me, must the 1st time in ages I've not taken it away with me, but did take the book "One Day" by David Nicholls, which I was reading for book club, thoroughly enjoyed it, can't wait to see the film. I had to stop myself reading the last 100 pages or so as I wanted to finish it on the flight back, that was really hard as wanted to know how it ended!
Then the Christmas trees are up at The Wool Clip, 1 outside the shop & 1 inside

The outside one is now decorated so when I'm in the shop next I'll take some more photos, & need to make some more crocheted robins & christmas puddings as they're selling too well!
