My mum has always said that if all the true relics of the cross were really true you'd have enough wood for Epping Forest!

I've seen several lots of saints' bones in Italy since our 2013 trip to Naples. The other thing you see in Italian churches is some kind of depiction of a skull, often complete with crossbones.

I felt the heat but jumped away before I got burned, Senoufou. My sandals were never the same again and I wore them just for gardening after that. The brand was Source, made in Israel. I still have an old pair that act as slippers when we go on holiday. Sadly, you can't get them here any more. I did get severely bitten by mosquitos in the Solfatara. I still have a scar on my leg to prove it. We'd been in the same area a month earlier and I'd escaped without a single bite, so the little buggers must have seen me coming. Grrr!
