Sicily

Sicily is a green, beautiful and very large island covered in vineyards. Pink and orange houses were dotted amid the lush green olive groves and a translucent sea evaporated into the turquoise glow of the Mediterranean sky in warm whispers.

We stayed in the hills just behind the old town of Cefulo, in an artistic villa with a wide sheltered veranda with panoramic views of the very blue sea. The house is full of many coloured quirky nic nacs – dangling colour beads and shells, fancy large plastic bowl.

I hoped I’d find peace here, or new treasures perhaps. Travel and holidays for me are a chance for free creative thought and writing.  

The last evening the waves took up, leaving a brilliant turquoise wash and soft luminous light as we walked the long shorelines.  I read too (recommend Beautiful Ruins)
