We’ve had a lovely couple of friend-filled days in La Pelosa because by chance, two of our longest friends are in Sardinia with their families. Yesterday we met with Jorgen and Debora and today we had lunch (in the same...
On Friday we spent most of the day catching up on admin, preparing the newsletter and doing some savvy navvy work. Our crappy internet connection turned what should have taken a few hours into practically the whole day...
