Best laid plans

Tape for Macro Mondays
This time three years ago I was starting to plan for our summer holiday to Italy. I was looking up flights, researching accommodation and thinking about brushing up my few words of Italian. At the same time I was keeping an eye on the worrying reports emerging from China about a frightening new virus.
Even when I found the most perfect apartment on a charming street in Rome I thankfully held off on booking.
Three years later and I'm still not planning to get on a plane any time soon, not just because of the pandemic (which isn't over) but because our son is living on the other side of the country and we don't have a dog sitter.

I have no desire to travel overseas at the moment either, so I'm happy to stay here and, like you, find photographic inspiration from the things around me :o)

I hope you can make it there some day and have a wonderful trip. I have flown twice since Covid started and I don’t like it in general. This is perfect for a travelogue. V

Pretty, softly lit still life. I understand your dilemma. V

Well, I hope you get to take your trip some time! I too am not ready yet for air travel, partly because of the pandemic (which I agree isn't over yet), but also because I absolutely hate flying, despite having flown all over the world because of Tim's job. And I agree with Christine, I'm sure Fudge and Toffee are happier having you at home.

The pandemic turned everything upside down and changed our perceptions for many things too. But you may get to Italy yet! Meantime, I'm sure Fudge is happy you are home with him. V
