Welcome to Episode 55 of my podcast interview from the crow's nest. It is Mr Romeo crow coming into your earholes, so to speak, and. Oh, just walked outside of the moon is really bright and clear. That's very cool. Excuse me. What an episode already. And it's been lovely day today, I didn't do any work. You know the last if you've been following the podcast for the last few days, it's been really pretty intense for me. With the launch of audience ninja my new agency and bringing on board our first staff and our first client and doing all of those in the same week, and there's just been so much to do. And it's been brilliant, but I really needed to break, and today was Family Day. So, had the had a day off. And we had a plan. So we are on an island called Ischia in the Bay of Naples, and we've been here since the lockdown came in first of March we actually got here we're only meant to stay for five or six days and then we're going to fly off to Paris to Disney, and then the lockdown came in prevented us flying off, and then prevented us going on to the UK and then to Spain, which was the original plan. So we've been here. Unexpectedly, and we've been on this island for whatever you know March April May June July, all these months. And so we were going to go today for our big family day, we were actually going to leave the island we were going to go to the island next door which is about 20 minutes. Coffee away could Prachi there. We'd been there once before my birthday last year and it was a very abortive day. Because we, the kids were in a bad mood last year and they're all stripy, and then we left late and by the time we got there the kids didn't want to go anywhere. We didn't have the car at that point. So we ended up basically getting to the poor, temperature, waiting for a bus, taking the bus to a bus stop. Standing at the bus stop for about 15 minutes after dropped us off. And then just getting the bus back to the port and waiting for the next boat and coming home. It was a complete waste of a day. So today we're really looking forward to doing things a bit differently with the car everyone was in a good mood etc etc. And we got to the front of the queue for the car fairy, and they told us. Oh no, you can't bring a car to bracha, because you're residents of Ischia, and this is Italy, so therefore no logic to it whatsoever, but you can't if you're going to Naples, or if you're if you're coming from anywhere outside of the region, you can bring the car temperature. But if you live in the region you can't bring a car to Florida, unless you live on property. So, in typical, you know, bonkers Italian fashion, we literally had to do a U turn, physically or metaphorically, and so instead we went to someplace we were kind of planning to go next week which is called latimore teller allama della is basically kind of subtropical gardens. Very unique uniqueness key and probably unique in the world. And it's, it was the home of William Walton, the composer British composer, and his wife lady Milton, who may have been Argentinian I can't remember. And over the course of like 50 years or however long they had this place. He was very successful they built it up, and they loved travelling, especially like he was conducting all over the world or what have you and composing and they brought back she was very keen on gardens, they brought back all these exotic trees, particularly in plants from all over the world, and bit by bit the garden was made and grown and now it's, it's pretty spectacular place with influences from, you know, all over the world, some really cool areas and it's all very, it's kind of built on the side of a mountain says a lot of up and down steps and stuff and little grottoes to go in and little areas and sections and stuff is, if you ever want Ischia, one should definitely go, and it's now been taken over by the wildlife taken over but by the Prince's Trust, Prince Charles has certainly been here a bunch of times.
