An Italian respite...


GG's editor is too tired to find the scads of southern Italy photographs she took herself over--yikes--3 decades (she was 5 when she began...ahem)...but we're wishing ourselves to Massa Lubrense...Sorrento...Vico Equense & so forth. Lovely friends live there & we do wish we could be with them tonight. Some Sorrento limone, some limoncello...here is a recipe to make it & a link to buy it...

Shirley Hazzard's
book Greene on Capri would be the perfect thing to reread while gazing out over Capri itself. Such a great book. Then we'd reread her other books. A Hazzard-fest. Perhaps tuck in to a Henry James, to whom she has been compared. Wings of the Dove? Hmmm. Then we'd be off to Venice, as well.

More on that later...scheduling this for middle of the night posting in the hope that it will connect to our dreams.
