I have arrived in Ponte a Serraglio to fine winter weather.
It is cold and the sun doesn’t appear in the village until mid morning, but it did appear today, making the river sparkle.
I took a short walk up the hill opposite the apartment to take in the sun…and the view.
It is good to be back. I love the wintery landscape…and soon it will be spring.
Welcome back Debra, I haven’t a date for returning as yet, but I look forward to catching up with you in the Spring. The photos are beautiful, they will keep me going until then.

Seeing these images makes my heart flutter … and on a day when I received an email for a cousin in the region.

Beautiful! And spring just around the corner. Still lots of snow up here in the Dolomites, and over a month of skiing to go! But I saw a fly today!!

It feels a bit like spring right now, but I’m sure the rain and cold will return.

Lovely to see you are back at the village so now we can expect to see more late winter/ early spring posts while we are still enduring hot days and some storms here in Brisbane.

I am not sorry to have left the stifling heat of Brisbane behind. Give me cold weather any day.

I agree Debra…cooler weather in Ponte ….. A much better alternative to stifling Qld summer at this stage! Enjoy!

Obviously a happy return home with the weather gods smiling hello! Perchance I should not use the word ‘cosy’ for such a historic place, but it does look wondrously comfortable . . .

We just had some Piedmontese food the other night and I was thinking how much I’d like to explore more of Italy.
