Day 8

When I was a child we went to Skerries in North County Dublin for our holidays every year. My father never saw the point of holidays (he worked very hard to support his wife and 4 children). 'Sure it's perfectly grand where we live, why would anyone want to go away'

Then I married a man who was perfectly happy at home also. In the early years we took 2 weeks holidays away every year. Then he told me he just simply couldn't be away for 2 weeks, could we just go away for one week. OK sez I. We'll go away for just one week. Then it narrowed down to 5 days. So we took 5 days holidays away every year and that was no problem.

Well this is day 8 for me. Love Italy but just can't wait to get home
