    Meantime (like the 'interlude' on old BBC TV), and to go some way towards satisfying demands, a rather paltry photographic effort - my favourite place for hams and cheeses, just off Campo de Fiori...



    Nothing particularly photogenic in the restaurant line - just a sequence of perfect pasta dishes and coffees and pizzas...

    OH! but for sausage fanciers: the world's largest Mortadella (a real one - slices were available for purchase! I didn't engage...)

    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        Lovely sausage and splendid cheeses, Caliban. It reminds me of Lina Stores in Soho's Brewer St around 1980

              It's 50 years since a bikini-clad Ursula Andress emerged from the sea in Dr. No.

                      Arsula Undress, indeed

                          And Ursula Vaughan Williams née Lock (see my message above)?

                            Which leaves the childish element, yes?

                              And correct

                              But what's the last movement connection? Nothing to do with Elgar...
