Rambling around Rome

I have been to Rome as my daughter is getting married there later this year. The wedding venue is stunning. There were lemon and Seville orange trees in the grounds.

Fresh lemons

Wrinkled Seville oranges

Cacti are growing wild even in January.

Look but don't touch

Here are some of the famous buildings in Rome.

The Colosseum

Stunning architecture

How many columns can you see?

The grandeur of Rome

I love this building

Friends Romans and countrymen

Italy is famous for its pizza and pasta.

Large or small we have them all

 This was part of Fortnum and Mason's display in Heathrow airport.

Fruity

At last the days are lengthening. This is the telescope at Jodrell Bank.

Is there anyone out out there Mr Tom

 The first snowdrops have appeared.

Always the first sign of Spring

Catkins dangling along the river bank.

Ropes of gold

We have had some dramatic skies.

Such movement and flow

As the sun is going down
