Lemons in her purse: a quick stop in Amalfi before high-tailing it back to children and work, to celebrate very old friendships (some of us have been friends since we were children and in primary school!) and my favourite fashionista finding her forever love. I was reminded of her determined loyalty, independence, her immaculate style and attention to detail. There is also something deeply touching about mature wedding vows, when you have lived the hope of losses and the cruelty of time. Thank you for planning such a beautiful weekend and memories — I love you and am so happy to see you happy.
Amalfi, alongside Positano and Capri, is a small town built into the cliffs, like Sienna but by the sea, with steep steps and crowded touristic streets made all the more sweltering in the heat and humidity. The Amalfi lemons really are huge, that and the lapping, sparkling waters were the best part of this hard-to-get-to place.
