La Befana Stockings

Hi everyone. While most of the western world are getting back into the post-Christmas and New Year work routine, Ischia and Italy are enjoying the final day of the festive season, "Epifania" (Epiphany), otherwise known as La Befana. You'll no doubt be relieved to hear that yours truly was deemed worthy of a stocking full of chocolate goodies rather than the lump of coal that the bad kids get, a big relief all round. Outside it's been a bit of a rough day so far, heavy overnight rain, the kind that wakes you up because it's so loud, continued into this morning where we had a brief sunny spell before the clouds came over again, backed up by some heavy winds which are still blowing. Right now at 5pm it's 11° Celsius (52° Fahrenheit), I'll be back with more tomorrow. Ciao :-)
