My daughter's on holiday with her friends. They are by the side of Lake Como in northern Italy. Lucky girl.
Smashing. A few yrs back we took Hull to Zeebrugge and drove south and east to Varenna by the side of Lago di Como. Hope she has a fabulous time and spots George Clooney.My daughter's on holiday with her friends. They are by the side of Lake Como in northern Italy. Lucky girl.
She's in Verenna, little Alpine esque villa. She didn't want to go to the typical tourist spots by the coast.Smashing. A few yrs back we took Hull to Zeebrugge and drove south and east to Varenna by the side of Lago di Como. Hope she has a fabulous time and spots George Clooney.
. Shlepped down to London yesterday for lunch on eldest at the Anchor & Hope nr Waterloo.
It is. I just wish it was by Kings Cross, or better yet, in Yorkshire 😉An excellent place to eat. I live near their sister pub, the Camberwell Arms. The quality & variety of food never fails to amaze, all in a traditional style boozer.
To me, it isn't important to have a Father's day gift. I know this sounds like 'Where's the sick bucket' but she is my gift. She doesn't dabble in anything illegal, smoke or rarely drinks; very level headed and considerate.That’s cute @plastic penguin.
I wish I could think more laterally about gifts. Always route one for me: I got my dad the new Knopfler cd & a national trust book of countryside pub walks.
Isn’t it just the best when you see them settled and doing well👍 My eldest is a Literary Agt in Manhattan, in London for author meetings. Youngest is a snr teacher at a well known school in West London. Middle one is a hospice nurse in Leeds. 3 grandkids and a 4th due September. Blessed with all of them.To me, it isn't important to have a Father's day gift. I know this sounds like 'Where's the sick bucket' but she is my gift.

That's her in the middle when they first arrived in Verenna.
Indeed. Usually youngsters want beech holidays in Spain but that doesn't interest her. She prefers the quieter get-a-ways, lake Como is quite a mature destination for one's so young.Isn’t it just the best when you see them settled and doing well👍 My eldest is a Literary Agt in Manhattan, in London for author meetings.

Como itself is worth a visit. Some super restaurants by the lake itself. Como/Bellagio etc all accessible by ferries which run like buses. Even Milano is reachable. We loved it.Indeed.
