Siena! 😍
Man sagt, man mag entweder Siena oder Florenz. Ich bin gespannt, ob dir Siena gefällt... Es ist halt fast noch mittelalterlich, weil sie Immer mit Florenz im Clinch lag und aus "Trotz" einfach die Renaissance nicht mitgemacht haben. 😅

Oh ja, Sarteano ist echt schön! Ich war mal vor 21 Jahren in einem Hotel etwas außerhalb (La Laterna), aber war immer wieder auch im Örtchen. <3

Oh, thank you. <3

I'm rarely a fangirl for someone, but I almost giggled out loud. Almost. Instead, I just smiled at her and walked past her towards my room.

I can't tell you how happy I was last month when the five-year finance finally came to an end. It's a shame how much we (my partner and I) ended up losing, but we're no longer travelling the world in a Tesla.

If I get through it quicker than I think, I'll do some more scientific research on the missing ones. But I want to get the first round done quickly. And since often only a surname is noted for the rest, I'm afraid it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

4/4 … and his wife Janet, known as “Jessy”, daughter of Alexander Fraser, Esq., former Lord Provost of Aberdeen. Alongside them, a “Miss Fraser” signed the guestbook – evidently one of Janet’s sisters (Jean, Agnes, Isabella, Margaret, Barbara, or Angelica).

3/4 - Among those who signed the guestbook in June 1826 were: “Mrs Gira Wilson”, “Mrs Wilson”, “Miss North”, “Mr Curry”, and “Miss Vigers (London)”.

I have been able to identify Mr and Mrs “Thomson Banchory d’Ecosse” as Alexander Thomson of Banchory (1789–1868)…

2/4 - considered writing a blog post – but if I can only identify a third of my list, I would end up publishing a post with 1,333 names, most of them anonymous. That hardly seems worthwhile. On the other hand, I am quite certain that some of them are known or traceable in the UK.
