Bologna Weekend


Having missed our Bologna friends when we rushed home after our Tuscany sojourn in July, Ingrid arranged 20 euro each way Ryanair tickets to the sun this last weekend. This happily coincided with Krantz and Silvia’s 25th wedding anniversary. As I had been best man, it was also the 25th anniversary of my once-in-a-lifetime experience of buying myself a suit. The celebrations took place at Krantz’s family’s magnificent summer house in the country outside Verona. The guest list was almost exactly that of the wedding, but with the addition of a generation of children and a few grey hairs.





The rest of the weekend was spent in the always pleasant company of Aldo and Pucci. We wandered through the old part of Bologna, which was made even more pleasant by the temporary provision of large pedestrian-only areas. Aldo and I talked boats and Pucci and Ingrid were talking about who knows what. There were, of course, some lovely lunches too.
