One of our usual visitors to the garden, the Hadeda, decided to rest near the pool ..
On Saturday evening hubby and I were joined by Elaine and Bryan, and we dined at the Kai Thai in Monte Casino ... food was yummy - far, far nicer than the Kai Thai near where we live ...
... and then we watched the Tattoo which was held in the grounds of Monte Casino. I booked as soon as the bookings opened, months ago, as we had heard so many great revues from the past two years performances. We were all a little disappointed - maybe I had greater expectations but it wasn't what I was expecting.
It was very colourful .. with flags being whirled ...
... and the highlight - for me anyway .... well, I do have a bit of Scottish blood running through me ... were the Pipes and Drums and the Highland dancers !

It ended too soon ... I was expecting more! Will do a post on the Tattoo later this week

Love the movement you got in the tattoo photos!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Connor is back from the hospital Avril, what a relief it must be for you! Loved all your pictures again especially the kids and the pretty flowers in your garden! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your little guy is okay...what a trouper he is....your photos are beautiful
ReplyDeleteSo many pictures of so many interesting things.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get my garden into some kind of shape before summer and seeing that Janet has done hers, maybe I need to make a plan as well.
I am envious of the flowers in your garden. You clivias is awesome. I just planed my first clivia, so I am not holding my breath for flowers this year, but maybe next.
It looks like the Tattoo was a great experience.
