An Italian saying goes "whoever is satisfied enjoys": surely living in the UK has advantages that there are not living in Italy?
Now I'm with my family in Trentino Alto Adige: it's been raining persistently since two days and the rivers are swelling: fear?

Next time you come back to Venice, if you like we can meet and have a drink and chat together in person.

A huge hug, dear @fleur... !tp & !BEER
