Villaggio di sunclass Bedero

Last month we went to Italy, celebrating our summer holiday! This was something I wanted for years, seeing the places were I spend many holidays in my youth, and stayed for months in autumns and springs. I long wanted to show  these familiar places to my boys, but life got in the way. I got divorced unexpected, had to learn to drive, worked very hard to earn a living and so on. So instead I bought a caravan and stayed the summers in Holland, this was easier, less stress.
It was a good decision, now my boys sometimes are talking about how they have enjoyed our holidays, the fun they had camping. We often took friends with us.
But last year I made the decision to get rid of the caravan and to go abroad in the next summer.  Our caravan was to big to drive it with our car, so...
On the 28th of june G and I went to Italy, my sons would come a week later by plane. I loved everything!! Allthough things had changed, and I was amazed by the small roads which I had to drive for the first time in my life, it a little scary. We do have an old car. We were in the north of Italy, near the Lago Maggiore. The climate there is mediterranean, which you can see at the sort of plants, palms, lots of hydragengeas, an abundance of all kinds of plants.
I will write some posts about Italy.
And now some photo's..


A  house with a vieuw...


Our very own palm.


Somewhere there is our house for 3 weeks....


A little walk around..



And around....


Those little streets......




A little insight....






And ofcourse some hooky time. I so loved it being out all day, from the moment I got up till the moment I went to bed. The atmosphere, the light, the temperature, the shadow....

  1. Hello Gerda, Thank you for visiting my blog, it is so nice to meet new friends this way. I shall enjoy reading your blog more fully when I have a little more time; things are a bit busy at the moment. I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer. Elaine

  2. I spent three months in Italy when I was a student. I was working at the research centre in Ispra which is on the shores of Lake Maggiore and I loved it there too. Your last photo reminds me of the view we had at the first house we stayed in. I'd travelled there with another Scottish student and we spent quite a few balmy evenings sitting on the sun loungers and looking over the mountains and drinking some red wine (no crochet then!). Happy days. I'll enjoy your other photos of the area, I'd love to go back sometime too.
