"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be."
The city, from whence I came seven years ago, can trundle along without me.
I'm here to stay.

Quote of the week No. 20 : On being in Carmine
Early this promisingly beautiful Wednesday morning, as I took a quiet, child-free moment to stand on the churchyard looking out across Lago Maggiore, with the sun rising golden behind the mountains, the cockerel crowing, and the surfer's sail snapping in the wind, Douglas Adams' words came to mind :
The city, from whence I came seven years ago, can trundle along without me.
I'm here to stay.

With a view over Lago Maggiore and the kiss of the warm morning sunshine, hard winters become distant memories and your heart sets down yet another root. I'm glad you are where you intended to be.

We always consider home as the country we were born in, but home can be where we settle and are happy bringing up a family.

When you have been to Carmine and its surroundings it captures your heart - who would ever want to leave!! And a magical place to grow up in for the two totties. A fairytale village with all its little alleyways,streams and different levels. Heaven for kids.
