For sexymermaid
Apr. 10th, 2007 04:25 pmI've reposted this because the bugger wouldn't do what I wanted it to do. It's just the same as whatever you managed to see that I couldn't.
Well these are for
sexymermaid and if I can remember the name of the building with the mosaic ceiling and the bronze doors outside the Duomo I will update.
These are from our last holiday in Italy, in Florence which is a lovely small city full of churches, history and art.
e.t.a. It was the Baptistry and why didn't I remember you liked mosaics? Would love to see images of your table and I loved the turquoise jewellery, which technically is my birthstone though I don't like it cos it's not shiny enough.
The Duomo from our bedroom window. we never got in because of queues across the piazza.

The statue that was vandalised while we were there.

And the Baptistry mosaic ceiling done by workers from Byzantium so that's why it looks Eastern.Hope you like.

I had glued most of it last year but only grouted it this year. I actually had a friend who visited my home from England (I know her from LJ) who sat out there with me in September.
Anyway, hopefully when my flowering plants and things start later on, I'll take another picture of the patio. It's lovely when that happens and this year we stored away all the extra pots so it's much nicer.
