We had a lovely time in Rome this week!
We set off for the airport at 4am on Monday, and we arrived at Ciampino Airport at about 10:15am Rome time. We had booked a self-catering apartment, close to Vatican City, for 3 nights, so spent Tuesday and Wednesday trying to ensure we saw everything we wanted to see:

We had a fabulous time, but wish we had another day or two to spend there... We will have to go back one day!
Today I managed to cross off another item on my bucket list, as I ran a 10K race! It was my first one, and considering I only started running at the end of March this year, I am well chuffed with my time of 1:25:54... My running buddy and I are now looking at half and full marathons for next year! Once you have the running bug, you can't stop!

| Running Buddies! |
 |
| My first 10K medal |
 |
| Sprint finish! |
No stitching at all this week, but I'll be doing some next week, as I am off work for another week.
