Unlucky holiday for my poor Mum

She booked a last minute holiday on a Mediterranean cruise and is currently in Sicily. www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59048809 She was supposed to be spending the day seeing the sights but she texted to say that she was on a coach in torrential rain and most of the places to visit have been closed. I haven't heard since but I'm assuming they turned back to the boat, which is probably the safest place to be in a flood as it's already floating.

Goodness me, those floods are awful, hope your mum and everyone are all ok.

She just texted to say that she's back on the boat and they are heading towards the storm, she would rather be heading away. Hopefully the end of the cruise will be better.

I feel for Sicily, apparently Etna has been very active which is unpleasant in terms of ash falling and general rumblings, now a flood.

At least if she's on a cruise she'll just have had a crap day's non-sightseeing and they'll be sailing off to another destination tonight. Wouldn't fancy being on a land holiday there atm.

At least she can sail away and now they've all got something in common to talk about
