'A splendid Midsummer shone over England: skies so pure, suns so radiant as were then seen in long succession, seldom favour, even singly, our wave-girt land. It was as if a band of Italian days had come over from the South like a flock of glorious passenger birds, and lighted to rest on the cliffs of Albion...' Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre

How's your summer been this week?
I'll take a band of Italian days any season! Such beautiful thoughts, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBellezza - Yes a band of Italian Days any season would be glorious.
DeleteI'd take Italy or England right now. It is 115 F here today and the monsoons just started so it is humid also. Ick!
ReplyDeleteAnbolyn - Hope you find moments & spaces of coolness.
DeleteBellisimo! Have just arrived home after some Italian days in Venice, and having sampled gelati, spagetti and the odd Bellini, maybe the summer has followed me home, at last.
ReplyDeleteLilac - How wonderful to have returned from Venice. May the gentle fizz of Bellini & flavour of gelato stay with you.
DeleteAnd look ... today was indeed an Italian day!!! May there be a flock!
ReplyDeleteRedhead - Hello! May there indeed be a flock Of them this summer.
