Philip is Jim’s younger brother by five years. He and his wife Phyllis are heading for their 50th anniversary in November and are treating themselves to two weeks in Italy with us. We are just delighted to host them here as they are by no doubt one of our favorite houseguests. They just eat up the sightseeing, enjoying themselves so much that we get pleasure out of their pleasure. They also do jigsaw puzzles with us, play Burracco almost every night and help us prepare meals at home. They have visited us previously in Seville, London – twice, Amsterdam and now Florence.
We are taking a train to Rome tomorrow which will be the subject of our next blog post.
