Roman Fall!

I am ashamed that it was January when I last posted to my blog on return from my wonderful Cape Town Christmastmas. SO I am attempting to pick up the threads. At the moment I am again staying with my dear friends the Kalmans in Mezobéreny in Hungary. In two more days Ibolya and I are flying from Budapest to spend a few days in Rome. Neither of us have visited Rome before so we have plans to visit several of the major tourist sites, xample some Roman food and wine and generally soak up some of the ambience.My title "Roman Fall" is an oblique reference to my late father's film "The Roman Spring of Mrs Stone" in which father as Mr Stonde dies on the plane en route to Rome at the very beginning of the film, allowing his widow (played by Vivienne Leigh) to enjoy herself in the Eternal City. I will try to update this blog more often!
