What better way to spend a Sunday than driving around the villages of Bagni di Lucca?
Things have been growing in the hot summer sun.
I hope your Sunday was as good as mine.

Everything is stunning; as always. I love the fruit and flowers! I feel as if I could pick a grape off the vine!

Thank you so much for “my” Sunday stroll in the countryside, how much I needed it… Shhh, while no one was looking I absconded with a plum or two, delicious!! As usual your photographs are luscious and state the reasons why we return to Italy over and over again; again thank you.

Great photos again, Debra. I love the one with the black cat. The landscape looks a bit dry. This is not the “Green Tuscany” that we know.

It has been a very hot summer here and everything is very dry….and you are correct, not a green and lush as usual.

Well funnily enough on our weekend stroll in Scarborough with our friends we bumped into a lady called Pam. She works with our friend, later my husband saw her again and they got chatting about Italy…”I have a friend in Bagna di Lucca called Deb” she tells Sam. Oh my wife knows someone called Deb, yep it’s You!!! What a small world x
Love your photos and we have booked our tickets so will be in Italia in March.ciao lisa x

I marvel at the bounty of the harvest. It all looks delicious, but I’m partial to the kiwi and the figs, probably because they don’t grow very close to here.

Lovely pictures Debra, we almost feel as though we could be there.
Ideally, a nice stroll in the hills followed by lunch/dinner at Santina’s in San Cassiano …….
