Taormina, yep this will do me as a home away from home.

Well it's the first day in Central Taormina Village, it is the end of Winter and Spring has arrived today, Its 1.00pm and shops are now closing until 4pm. The breeze is cold and the sun is full and warm on my face as i sit on the steps of one of the fountains outside a 17th century chapel and soak up the warmth. The streets and alleys are full of cafe's, bars and Ristorante's exuding charm and elegance and the beautiful ancient architecture of the buildings surrounds designer boutiques toning down any exclusivity or pretense. I can't help but think that this would be a nice place for a Scoco Boutique run by someone else of course, while I put the finishing touches to some Co creations gathered together from around the globe. I'm thinking I could probably find myself a little run down Villa at the bottom of the hill with a small orchard a few olive trees overlooking the Mediterranean, just enough land to create self sustainability. A perfect place to work from a couple of months of the year and share with like minded people the rest of the time. Just knock out a wall, slap up some plaster, throw down some nice rugs, create some homely sacred space, lots of fresh produce, herbs, a few chickens perhaps. I have to say that sounds perfectly feasible to me, anyone inspired to visualize this picture into reality for themselves go ahead? Well it's almost 2.00 o'clock and I'm catching up with Mark alias Gi Gi to take some photos of the landmarks of Taormina and by the way I have finally been given a nick name by the crew here that has stuck and it is a mixture of Geoff ?and Scott, they now call me Sceoff or Sceoffo. So cheers for now, photos to follow this evening.
