When Life Gives You Lemons. . .
Okay, that's a deceptive title. No need for lemonade-making here at the moment, except that we have an imminent departure of a beloved visitor on our horizon and she's heading to that Land Where Lemons Grow. . . .
And since we have only one more day with our daughter before she flies home to Rome, I'll just share this journal page with you and wave Happy Weekend. We've had such a good visit, relaxing around each other's various activities, sharing the space together easily. Yes, I would have loved my granddaughter here as well, but that visit would have had such a different focus with predictable stresses that haven't arisen this week. We should chat, you readers and I, at some point, about the joys and challenges of visiting adult children in their homes and having them visit in ours. . . and the parallel joys and challenges of visiting ageing parents in their homes and having them visit in ours. It's not always easy, and for us, this visit ticked most of the boxes on the Get It Right list.
Except for missing the granddaughter. And we've begun working to remedy that. Hours were spent this week online doing travel research and booking. More later. . . .
Meanwhile, some armchair travel you might enjoy via Helena Attlee's The Land Where Lemons Grow, a cultural history that will take you through Italy with a very erudite and entertaining guide, visiting wonderful gardens and enticing kitchens. . . I sketched the illustration of the book on watercolour paper, then cut it out and glued it into my journal. I'll fill the page later with some notes about the book and probably add a few lines about the week's other activities.
For now, as the inimitable Porky Pig used to say, "That's All, Folks"
