Chapter 113

When we get to the table Gino spots us from further into the garden where he is kicking about a ball with some very small humans. It takes only minutes to be enveloped by the group and introductions are quickly made from people with a severe obsession with cheek kissing and bear hugs. I'm introduced rather proudly as Alexi's new wife, and, of course, a lot of mock shock and outrage at missing the wedding ensues.
