Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)

PC still in the shop. Turns out the repair is relatively minor and will cost less than a new one . . .

Given that all of my ideas to blog about are saved on my other PC and I can't be bothered to load my back up files onto my work lap top I'm going to post one of my favourite Christmas tunes . . . Remember I am a child of the 8os. After the success of 'Do They Know It's Christmas at All' all of the 80's bands made a Christmas song . . . some good . . . some crap.

One of the best of the lot was by U2 . . .

Photo Hunt - Music

This week's Photo Hunt theme is Music. Immediately I remembered that magical night two years ago when we stayed in Montisi, Italy with our good friends. Gail, of Gail's Great Escapes, rents a gorgeous villa in a dream location, and puts together a brilliant week of food, wine, history, art, and fun. One of the very fun activities is the Thursday night party. This event is memorable because it features amazing food, flowing vino, and live music preformed by local artist Liz Cochrane and Pino Teresi (who also serves as tour guide during the week).

Here Liz is in the background and the microphone has been taken by none other than Gail herself. Our friend Sandi sings back up chorus while Pino strums his guitar.

Lots of the slow travel  community members also photo hunt when they aren't traveling. You can find their posts by clicking the links below.
