There are certain times in ones life when many things conspire and they result in a moment, an hour, a day or a week that will remain embedded in your memory forever. For Faye and I our recent trip to Italy was most certainly one of those moments when many things came together, the romance of Tuscany, a beautiful castle set high in the hills, wonderful warm, sunny days, a beautiful model and most importantly people on the workshop who we know are now our lifelong friends. We did have a wonderful time and as I mentioned previously our model for the 3 one day workshops, Laura Ann, was quite a star and worked so well and patiently for us and our delegates. We ate in the castle for a couple of evenings and then headed out into the town of Radda for 3 excellent, memorable evenings of fun, laughter, food and wine with wonderful company.

Today we have the first of our images and more to follow over the course of this week.
