Alongside Biblioteca Marciana, St Mark’s Square, Venice, November 2017
This great Renaissance building dates back to the middle of the sixteenth century. The library is home to a vast array of ancient manuscripts, plus over a million printed books. The reading rooms are located on the first floor but the entrances below have grand statues at their doorways and inside their lobbies.

No. It was just a long weekend but I’ve been inundated with work and a virus since I got back. And a full hard drive. Will hopefully be back to normal blogging next week ( a new hard drive arrived this evening)

Viruses are not to be taken lightly Debbie. You should rest completely.
