It is time to go back to Australia for a couple of months. This is what I will miss when I leave Ponte a Serraglio.
It has turned cold and wet in the last few days, but I love this too……until next time.

I think we need to find an agent to do some sniffing around for us.

I don’t know how you can bear to leave!! As a Brit and as much as I love Australia, there is really no comparison……….. apart from the family ties obviously! I look forward to your return to BDL and more wonderful photographs.

There is a never ending supply of beautiful things to share here in Italy. I am in Florence right now and outside my window the dome of the cathedral is shining in the rain.

and now you had to say “daily”!!! oh yum!
I know you’ll be finding good things once you get to your other home, too!

vicarious – “felt by sympathetic participation in another’s experience; as ‘vicarious’ pleasure” is a part of the entry for this word in my 1970’s onward ‘The Winston Canadian Dictionary for Schools’…and so, strangely it seems, I feel the ‘pang’ of YOUR departure like it were my own. You have a lovely life and your recent photos describe (and reiterate) the most delicious place/s where we travel with you. THANK YOU for this gift Debra, it endures and enriches the lives of those who join you on your adventures. Battling the ‘nostalgia’ will be a challenge for a while; the rain will stop, the sun will shine and, like you, we’ll all have many a distraction to comfort us. Buon viaggio e state bene!!

Safe travels, and like the previous post, thanks for keeping Italy alive for us.
I just cant get over how lucky Italians are, and I wonder….. do they know it?
What landscapes, and beaches, music, food and wine, not to mention the beautiful buildings. The ‘nostalgia’ is a problem for most of us I think!

Sometimes I think you need to look at a place with a stranger’s eyes to really appreciate it.

Thanks for the wonderful photos they actually bring tears to my eyes. Hope to visit with you next time your in bagni. Ciao

I ‘travel’ vicariously too, but haven’t quite got a vicarious sfoglia licked! However, we do have good Baclava in West End – I used the Rugby Union instruction for my lads when addressing the Baclava……”touch, pause….engage”! Happy Landings.

We can share a baklava soon…..400 calories a slice I believe.

I absolutely understand why you will miss this! I love the geraniums everywhere just beautiful bursts of colour from balconies, doorsteps! In your heart and dreams until you return Carla x
By: Carla Coulson on November 1, 2012

My geraniums are almost finished and the cold and wet will be the end if them, but I will be back next year to replant.

The last two days of photos have been especially beautiful, Debra, perhaps your heartfelt temporary farewell to Italy :-). I remember how the clouds and mist would gather in the hills around Barga, enchanting. Thanks for sharing Italy through your eyes with those of us who “wish we were there.”

Gosh that time went quickly…it’s such a beautiful place that it must be hard to leave but you certainly do have the best of both worlds. Buon viaggio
