I like to participate in life rather than be a spectator. Music, dancing, theatre, travelling, food, cycling and walking are some of my passions. Writing is an enjoyable pastime that allows me to share my experiences.

We had a lovely evening sampling foods and flavours that we were unfamiliar with, The gnocchi and the scottiglia (beef cheek and pork ribs) were unique taste sensations. The desserts (dolce) are the perfect finish to the evening and it was good to share one of each.
