The halfway point of the year! I'm joining in with the Australian Deb's World to share my month. Please pop over there to see how life is on the other side of the world!
Watching and reading
I am watching the Chelsea Detective. It's not a new programme, but is new to me so I'm enjoying working my way through the episodes. I tend to put it on while I am doing the ironing to take my mind off my least favourite chore!
Race Across the World has come to an end. My favourite couple didn't win but it was a good race to the end.
We are enjoying The Last Anniversary. It's nice when we find something that we both enjoy!
My book list for the month is shown in this blog post. Going on holiday is a good excuse for reading more than usual.
Eating
You can't go to Italy and not eat well can you? We had some fab meals while we were at Lake Garda. We'd booked bed and breakfast and found a different restaurant every night. Every meal was delicious. Let's also discuss gelato. Wow. So many flavours! The most intriguing one was called Audrey Hepburn. Yes, really! It was fruits of the forest and white chocolate, I wonder what made them think to call it Audrey Hepburn?
Self Care
Still doing pilates and zumba still but the best self care was a week's holiday in Malcesine.
Days out
Does a week away count? Malcesine was a beautiful location and we spent many hours wandering around, discovering the town.
We also got the ferry across to Limone which was another charming resort.
Some friends of ours are going to Riva del Garda in a couple of months time so we thought we would get on a bus and see what it was like there. It's really nice there and I think they will enjoy it!

Hi Deb, your trip away looks wonderful, I love that shot of the bike in front of the pink wall too. Such a happy post, hope your summer is warming up! All the best for July x
Your Italian holiday looks amazing! Such pretty photos. I like the Chelsea detective too.
Hi Deb, we love the Chelsea Detective. What a wonderful holiday in Italy. The photos are beautiful and remind me of our travels to Italy to visit my husband's cousins. Thanks for joining us for #WBOYC? Have a lovely July. Sue L x
How can it be half way through the year already? In so many ways it seems barely started! Thank you for being a regular contributor to #WBOYC. It is greatly appreciated!
Hello Deb, your photos are absolutely gorgeous! It looks like a wonderful place, and that you enjoyed it very much. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Warm greetings from a 68 year old retired lady living in Montreal, Canada.
Deb looks like a wonderful vacation. Oh yes to eating local cuisine. How kind of you to check out the place where your friends are going to visit.
Your vacation photos are gorgeous!! I think I would put that trip under the "self care" category. Wonderful way to pamper yourself:) I hope Coco did not sulk when you returned. Interesting name for a gelato but, no matter, it sounds delish!! Oh, we can watch Chelsea Detective here in the states. On BritBox. We are currently watching the third season but I don't think they "give us" every episode. Sigh. But we really enjoy the ones we do see. British tv is far superior to American tv...just so you know!
