IN THE BLANKET OF RAIN, WE LOST OUR VISITORS

In a vain attempt to escape from England's horrendous weather, Toby and Helen made their way to Pisa/Florence (someone needs to tell Ryanair that Pisa and Florence are two very different and separate towns, about one hour apart, and with two individual airports... so landing in Pisa should be classed as a flight to Pisa, not Pisa/Florence, or maybe we could suggest adding Rome to the list?!). Unfortunately they were closely followed by the clouds, and then the rain, and then the thunder. Oups. Yesterday they went south, to Rome where they never had to open their umbrellas, so they then tried not to return by missing the train!
