\"snowy<\/a><\/p>\n

Ah, January. You and your cold weather and bright sunshine which disappears at the drop of a (windily-removed) hat. Funny how a month which is noted for being all about new starts can be so damn disinclining towards the same. Drinking copious cups of tea while curled up with a good book seem so much more inviting than going outside and doing things. Unless, of course, the things to do involve playing in the snow<\/a> – but this year Etna hasn’t been too obliging on that front so far. There’s some forecast for this weekend, though, so fingers crossed …<\/p>\n

On a more exciting note, Driving Like a Maniac featured recently on the Ville in Italia list of the Top 15 Italian Lifestyle Blogs<\/a> – hooray! So if you’ve come here from there: welcome. It’s lovely to see you. If you’re wondering where to start, then I suggest heading to the Best Of DLaM<\/a> page. And the old hands? Well, you can check out some of the other great bloggers on the list. Just don’t forget to come back here afterwards for a cup of tea and a chat.<\/p>\n

Alla prossima!<\/p>\n
