17 August 2010 Shower up, cook up, pack up and see you Siena. Mum, Grace and I went back to San Gimgiano whilst Bazz and Si whipped back to Castellina to pick up some jewellery that Nev had left at the villa and were also given Debbie Telf's hat that 'Simon' lost, however it must be said that it was found in Deb-o-rah's room, hmmmm??! Telfer's a? They'd be lost without the Patton's! Us gals had a coffee and a bit of a shop up too! Back on the road, met the boys ...
