I have been up to Vergemoli to check the progress on Casa Debbio and to see how it fared in the earthquake. All is well and I appear to have the heating working (with help from Rod) and will stay in the house for a while. I have been back to Ponte a Serraglio for supplies and am now heading back up the mountain.
The road from the village to the house looks lovely with the remnants of the recent snow fall.
We have a new fence in front of the house. Soon I will plant wisteria and climbing roses on it.
I still have a bit of work to do inside, so I will show you the lovely winter view from the terrace.
Can’t you see this fence covered in wisteria and roses? I can’t wait for spring to get the garden growing.
This is the view from the village of our nearest snow covered mountian.
Wonderful place!!! Enjoy your days there.

It will be even better when I can get the heating working properly.

Great to hear that the house is fine. Take it easy and do not work too hard. In any case, it would be more pleasant now that the heating is on. I have just received news from Cristina. There has been no damages in the area.

Unfortunately the heating is not working properly and the house is freezing. With a bit of luck the technician will be here tomorrow to sort out the bugs.

I just went to your “rent our mountain house” link–what a gorgeous place! And heating will make it that much cozier.

Heating will make the house wonderful…when it works properly, I was a little hasty in saying it was working.

In my mind’s eye I can see the fence covered it wisteria and roses – it looked gorgeous.

It’s such a beautiful place. I imagine it must be a very peaceful place to be. I like the look of the fence and I think rambling roses and Wisteria sound de-vine (sorry:)

Looks as though you’ve arrived at the right time…with the snow melting and the sun shining. Roses and wisteria will look fabulous along the fence.Not long to wait now!

So pleased to hear both you and the Casa are unscathed from the earthquake – they are frightening!

Hope all is well after the tremors. Sure is a pretty view – love the way you can see all of the land in the winter with no leaves.
