autumn is here
The leaves have changed colour and some trees are already bare. Autumn has arrived and today there is a chill wind blowing a few more leaves away. I am going back to Australia today, to spring in Brisbane. I hate leaving my little village, but I know I will be back soon. My next visit begins in February for some winter then the glorious spring. I am so lucky to be able to travel between 2 places I love.
the almost complete fountain at La Villa
Tina's trees change colour
the tiglio trees change
mist in the hills
autumn colours
logs for the winter
I have gathered stories and photos while I have been here and there are many posts waiting to be uploaded. There is lots more on lovely Siena, Lucca, Forte dei Marmi, Germany, Torino and the Salone del Gusto – enough to last until I come back in February. Hopefully you will keep reading. I really like to read your comments, so keep them coming.
Looking forward to seeing you Deb. My Magnolia Grandiflora has it’s first flower today, as big as a dinner plate. The jacaranda’s are sensational. Brisbane’s spring will not disappoint you. Travel safely my friend.

Perhaps I will come over and eat dinner from it. I can’t wait to see the jacarandas and the poincianas – love Brisbane!!

In the picture ‘autumn colors’, is that the renovated place across the river from Bianca?!
I always wanted that place but it must have taken $ and alot of work.

Hi Joan,
Yes that is the place opposite Bianca’s. The outside has been completed, but I don’t know about the interior. I’m sure something will come up for sale there. It looks so much better than before doesn’t it.

Lovely photos of Bagni Di Lucca in autumn. I recently stayed in an appartment in lovely Villa Talenti at Bagni Caldi. The leaves of the tree, ( I
think it was an elm ), in front of the bedroom window had turned gold and were beginning to fall. It is certainly a beautiful area. I have loved looking at your photos. You are lucky to have a residence there. Cheers Judy.

See you back in Bris. Loved the autumn colours which we don’t have, sadly.
You will love the jacarandas. In fact I’ll do a blog on them tonight!

I love the mist in the hills! And look at all that open space.. I miss having a view of something other than my neighbor’s living room.

I do miss Bagni di Lucca and Italy when I am not there, but knowing I am going back soon makes it OK.

The pictures were beautiful Deb. Our “Fall” has been spectacular but now the leaves are starting to fall – a sad time of the year.
Safe travels back to Aus Great meeting you in September
Pam.
