From Draught to Drown
Spring arrives in the teeth of a deluge and winds, wolves, road quotes, and sink swapping
Dampish then the Beast from the East arrived
It started so well just a little damp but mild then snow!
White from a hard frost but no snow
So cold a hose snapped but then the warmest month for 200 years.
Where the wild things are
More things eating trees, fruits and veggies in the night and a mystery tree, is it a Medlar or not? The drought goes on and on.
Elba, Montecatine Terme & UK trips at the gallop
A quick tour of Elba, thermal baths at Montecatini and a dash to Wales with road delays the whole way.
In Hell with the Devil, In Rome with the Saints
Too hot to walk on the pool tiles. Took a trip to the Vatican and rode the popes train to the summer palace. Put the house for sale and harvested our grapes.
Lights, taps and postal woes
Leaks, not vegetable, postal conundrums or just a jobs worth? and having the cypresses given short back and sides to present the property for sale.
