Storm Clouds Over Livorno

Extract From A Holiday Diary:

We arrived early in the morning at Livorno to be greeted with a storm of epic proportions. It was rather like the God Vulcan tossing thunderbolts at his mate Jupiter, whilst Persephone had a screaming fit because someone had trod on her toe. Nero and Augustus would have cringed in the cabins of their trireme, we - seasoned travellers that we are - calmly went for our breakfast.
