La bella stagione

So the fine weather is upon us at long last, though almost too much too soon as the Giardini are now heaving with children, pollen and dust at every available opportunity making it less attractive an outdoor meeting place for Friday afternoon's Ready, Steady, Bo! group. Oh well...if anyone has any better ideas then please air them here.

Meanwhile Little Bo-Peep is still going strong and some of us are venturing to the Giardini Margherita on a Friday morning at around 10 for some peaceful play and reasonably fresh air...

By the way we shall continue to meet at the Sala Borsa on a Wednesday morning until at least the end of June, possibly even beyond though not into August as the library is closed for the first two weeks.

Also, if anyone would be interested in joining an English-speaking toddlers' group meeting weekly for mothers and toddlers from September, please let me know as I am trying to see how much interest there is in Bologna. It would be a weekday morning for children who don't go to an asilo or organised daytime childcare who would like nonetheless to spend time playing with other children regularly.

OK, that's it for now. See you soon...
