RIGHT! no more travelogue, too boring.
This is me! I quite liked the mosaic surrounded mirror, so I took a photo! Lots of mosaic stuff in Liguria, well the Romans did it a lot, so an ancient skill
See below as well.
See!
-it’s worn well!—–now what next?
Guide advised avoiding this if we wished to leave with livers intact! while he was pointing out all the places the wild boar had been foraging.
Just look, Autumn crocus in its natural environment and
is this an Italian landscape or what?
-round the corner on the headland they were telling us about the 3 pines found there———
while this is the flower of the “caper berry” (I thought capers were buds?
this I do know is Chicory, but the one I would have in my garden, if I could find it in scotland, not the veg one, much tho I like the veg.

SHOPPING! what else!
No, not flag of England! Flag of St George, patron saint of Genoa. Apparently British PAID them to use the flag until very recently, good gracious, and here he is—-
-doing what he does best–
Abbey of San Fruttuoso, “11th centuary gem”-only reachable by long steep walk, or boat if you are on a cruise ship!
and this was the highest point, before our poor sore feet started the descent——-I WENT SWIMMING!
but not here, an Antiques race! notice the clever use of faded colour!!!!!!!!!!!
this was some of the boats at peace-
this is men working, couldn’t let that pass,
only hope they were properly fastened on! from a health and safety point of view!
working boat among all that elegance–
fishermen!
and these 2 boats had a net encircling a mass of leaping fish, shame you can’t see them, the fish I mean, but
they did seem to take fish seriously
That’s all, until the next time.
