Dear Paolo

Thank you so much for organising such a wonderful programme for us. Rosalyn and I can hardly speak for excitement. All the places we especially hoped to see are included. My son was married in Siena in 2002 so I hoped to go back there and also to Assisi as St Francis is the patron saint of my old school and I have never been there. I know Rosalyn really wanted me to see the Cinque Terre, Arianna especially wanted to see Pisa and Michelle, Venice. Of course we all want to go to Florence so we are feeling overwhelmed with your kindness. We are getting very excited and grateful for your hospitality.

My apologies for spelling your name incorrectly in my first email and also for somehow sending it three times! We are looking forward to seeing you in 4 weeks time.
