Storms threaten
The United Kingdom is on its way … but where to? The future looks complicated, and the present is far more serious than we would like it to be.
The UK – an island off Europe: pain and politics
Italy: Deep into Cilento and back, with a stop in Velia
A new neighbourhood –
Cilento, Italy
The next stage of our journey is from Castellabate to Roccagloriosa in the south of Cilento.
We follow an autostrada that dives through the wilderness in long strides, with off-piste loops for roadworks. The further we travel the more unspoilt the valleys to either side. Signs, baked by the summer heat, warn us about ice.

A weekend in July, too hot to sit still … but … where to go? The north is too far and the south too scorched, so we settle on next door – Cilento.
Can’t claim brilliant local knowledge for the choice, rather over-indulgence … too many viewings of Benvenuti al Sud.
