We are not ready yet for winter as we do not have fully operational central heating yet and are still waiting for a new external door on the soggiorno (living room) and for the front door to be rehung after stripping back to the natural wood. Oh well at least the kitchen is nice and cosy as the Stufa was delivered two days ago and fitted yesterday, now fully operational. Also the central heating works in our bedroom so this is where we retreat to watch television after supper.
The only good thing about this intense cold has been the amazing blue skies and the sun making the countryside look so beautiful.
It makes one realise how very lucky we are to have such beautiful countryside to walk in just outside our own door. I am posting here photos, just a taste of the scenes viewed on some recent walks. One in the countryside in the hills behind the house and the other on a lakeside walk to Marta.
If you are interested there are many more such photos posted on My Flickr.com account. http://www.flickr.com/people/mctumble/
Hi Linda
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise you lived in Italy - it looks stunning!
I've now just joined Good reads (though I have to say I don't really understand quite how it works.) I loved Maggie O'Farrells' 'The Vanishing Act of Esme Leonard' -
I don't expect my novel, Paper Lanterns will be quite in the same league as hers, but I hope people will enjoy it when it's published next year.
