March is still going to tease us with the ghost of winter and unpredictable weather patterns, but we have finally heard the wind whisper to the trees, as it rustles the branches: "Spring is coming, spring is here".

Created for Beyond Layers eCourse with Kim Klassen ~ *10 Truths* assignment, using Kim's textures Wonderful Magic and Warm Vignette.

10 Truths About Us:

1. We are Italian expats currently living in Scotland.
2. We have been lucky enough to locate our True Love.
3. We share many passions, one being photography.
4. We have been bitten by the wanderlust bug. We wish we could live to travel, and travel for a living.
5. We are never bored. Too many things to do, books to read, recipes to try, places to see.
6. We can spend hours and hours chatting and laughing about everything and anything.
7. Dark chocolate and coffee are the greatest combination known to mankind.
8. We don't own a TV. Nor a car.
9. Our cell phones are more than 7 years old and might be considered dinosaurs. They can just make calls and send text messages. That's what they are supposed to do for us.
10. We hope to have a house with a big garden full of vegetables, fruit trees and flowers one day, just like we used to have while growing up.

Thank you so much for your visits, kind comments and encouragement ♥
We are trying to keep up with our visits, but we are terribly slow, sorry...

The medieval Cathedral of Pisa is entitled to St. Mary of the Assumption and is a five-naved cathedral with a three-naved transept. Construction was begun in 1063 by the architect Buscheto, and set the model for the distinctive Pisan Romanesque style of architecture. The Cathedral was consecrated in the year 1118, even though still incomplete, by Pope Gelasio II. It was terminated in the 13th century, with the erection of the façade, unchanged up to today, by Rainaldo. The Cathedral is about 100 meters long and 54 meters high, and is about 35 meters high. The façade of The Cathedral is articulated in five orders of arches, the inferior of which has seven blind arches; the two lateral gates, and one central gate, are separated by columns and pilasters.

In 1987 the cathedral was declared, as part of the Piazza del Duomo, UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the neighbouring tower, baptistery and cemetery.

The earliest section of Malahide Castle was constructed around 1185, and the structure was added onto by each of the generations of Lord Talbots that came into power. The castle served as the home for the Talbots and their servants for almost eight centuries, with the exception of a period in the 17th century when Miles Corbet was granted the property.

The castle is one of the oldest castles in Ireland and is also the most haunted, having a grand total of at least five ghosts haunting the castle.
