My clothes never seem to be able to settle in the wardrobe long enough these days. Just trying to cram them into a suitcase again because we're off to Trieste tomorrow morning early, in the car. It's a fascinating city on the very north-eastern edge of Italy - literally at the border of four cultures - Italy, northern Europe, the East and the old Slavic empire. The Austro Hungarians possessed it, and the Ottomans, and it's currently Italian. Really looking forward to exploring it.

And then it's off to Istria - now part of Croatia, but once ruled by the Venetians. We're staying at a place called Rovinj, but aiming to explore a big chunk of the countryside (if the car gets that far!). This is all fact checking for a new book, but also a mini holiday. Neil's just finished a sculpture and we have a few days free. I don't know how much Wi-fi we'll get in rural Croatia but I'll try to post some pictures on the way.
