Sicily and Yorkshire. Summer 2002. Many in this collection were lost when a CD snapped in my bag.

The view from The Taormina amphetheatre back to our hotel in Naxos.

Jess in the amphetheatre.

The view from our balcony with Etna in the distance.

The view from our room.

And the same in b&w.

Naxos beach - virtually empty.

Jess looking out to sea.

And again. This time looking at that big boat full of millionaires.

The church on Taormina main piazza.

J outside the church door.

The hotel had a cool rockpool at the end of it's garden. This was a teeny hermit crab found in it.

Up the top of Etna. Well, as far as we could get. The sign reads 1900m above see level.

After the grim moonscape near the top of Etna, they took us to its verdant base - the soil and water rich with volcanic mineral deposits.

DM posing on a rock.

In a restaurant near the hotel.

J and I still up Etna. J wasn't exactly enthralled.

Etna.

J on those rocks at the base of Etna.

Crowds on Etna.

Cloud shadow over Etna.

J and D posing oustide a church. Isn't there some sort of law against that ?

Jess employing her brochure pointing techique.

J very happy with her red wine.

The main Piazza in Taormina - playground of the rich and famous.

Another view out of our room.

A boat. In the Sea.

The street that leads up to the amphithingy in Taormina.

A balcony.

The other view.

Scarborough Sea Front.

Salubrious Scarborough sea-front.

D had rotten hayfever when the farmer decided to make hay while sun was shining. Literally. These teabags were supposed to help. Hmmm.

The stairwell in the farmhouse, Kirbymoorside.

J and D enjoying the boat ride at this stage. J looking a bit 50s filmstarlike.

Erm, the driver's seat on the speedboat. Captain I spose.

Yep, another boat pic. Open your mouth wider why don't you.

Jess enjoying a speedboat ride in Scarborough.

D having found the sppedboat journey not entirely edifying.

Ste on the pier at Scarborough.

Charlie, Vick, Jack and Ste.

The farmhouse kitchen. Isn't that the name of a broth ?

Charlie pretending to be the crippled Lou - Johns Mum. Well *I* thought it was funny.

Jess belts out a 'tune' on the farm organ.

Ste and Vicki enjoy an oversized ice-cream. Even Vicki tired of it not long after.

Jack asleep at about two weeks I believe.

J eating fish and chips in a rip-off Scarborough chippy. Ste and Vick in the b/g.

Cliff!

Jackie cooing.

Charles wants a fight. A slap morelike.
