Roman Autumn

As our sojourn in Europe draws to an end we are getting lovely weather here in Rome. It feels like a Canadian Indian summer, warm days, cooler evenings and that lovely autumnal bite to the breeze. Of course, being Italy, the locals have decided that it is downright frigid and have donned scarves, puffy jackets, boots and woolly sweaters - although oddly, not hats and gloves which is the Canadian response to real cold. I think Romans fear that a hat would disrupt their lovely coiffure. I am slightly worried about what will happen when I get back to Whitehorse. We are also a bit concerned for the dog, who has decided to start shedding again. We hope she is preparing a deep downy undercoat for her return to the Yukon. If not, she'll be wearing her own overcoats all winter...
