A little trip to Tuscany with Lynne and Judy. My last holiday had resulted in a pleasant week, in the circumstances, in a French hospital and the addition of metal to replace smashed bone in my right elbow. The elbow is as good as it was before the accident that is stiff but functional. We had a lovely house in the hills and on Sunday morning the rain that had pelted down on our arrival had stopped. We set off on a cycle ride around Montaione a small hilltop town north of San Gimignano (the town with the towers).

As I was still converlesing we decided to visit friends in London and take in some sights. Battersea Power station was not on our list before we left but it was a lot of fun.
