Introductions

Hello and welcome back, Annette!

I must confess I have immediately opened Google Maps to look at Queensland and find where you live... I was burning with curiosity! Well, it seems really isolated but nevertheless it must be a fascinating place. Since I was a child I have been intrigued by the immense and wild and beautiful lands of Australia, so much so that I spontaneously wrote a 150-pages essay on your country when I was 13 :-)

Things like schools of distance education sound strange to Italian people. Distances between our villages are not big as yours, but in Southern Italy road links are so much bad that sometimes distance learning would be really welcome! I was born in Southern Italy, indeed, and exactly in Calabria on the Ionian Sea, but I had to move to a northern city, Bologna, to attend the university and I still live there.
Like you I have never go abroad... too much cats at home to take care of!

It's a pity that you won't visit Italy next year! Where will you go, instead?
We had the pleasure to meet Robin in June, what a wonderful experience! If you like to watch some videos and photos of the book tour, you can click on "Album" in the upper grey bar. I myself often open the Album because I still can't believe it was not a collective dream! :-)))
