                The other chuch worht seeing is the chruch os St Andrews - not far from the Paza Argentina - some ownderful paintings - for thsoe whom done knwo St Andrews is the patron Saint of Scotland .

                Also Trastevere itsself - where I resided - is a magical area of Rome and not to be missed - many people hang out there and itsa graet muix of artists students bohemians travelers - its also where the Italian movie Director Fellini shot most to the movie Roma.

                Have an excellent coffee in one of the wonderful cafes in Trastevere Square - ah to think I once lived there - but I left- is there no way back ???

                PS From Ciampino Ryanair have an hourly bus service which is cheap - but for a couple of Euros you can also get a metro train from Ciampino - though the Roman Metro can get a bit sticky in the summer !

                    I did some about 20 years ago with my dad who who had done the course, its quite unusual now but a real traditional method of creating a perfect hedge from sparse or overgrown boundary planting, you don't see it very often now but it looks good when done properly.
                    if i remmember rightly you need the right binders and stakes, i seem to think the binders need to be willow so you can bend them round the stakes, I will ask my dad later for the low down
