It is time to go back to Australia for a while. I will miss Bagni di Lucca for obvious reasons.
I wonder if my purple flowers will survive the winter on my balcony.
I will miss the mountains in the mist and the gorgeous autumn colour.
…and I will miss Casa Debbio.
Here is the view from the house on my last morning.
Today I begin the long haul home. I will stay in Rome tonight, fly to Helsinki for a couple of days and arrive in Brisbane on Saturday.
I will be back in February to get back into the garden for the next stage of planting…and some new adventures.
Safe journey….

I don’t know how you come back to Brisbane for our very hot and humid summer months. I think I would like to go down to the Amalfi coast instead!

I will be returning to Italy early in the new year. I don’t like Brisbane summer, but I find it OK until about Christmas. The Amalfi Coast just about closes down in the winter. I would avoid the summer in Brisbane entirely if I could, but for several reasons it is not possible.

The end of an adventure is always a little melancholic, but at least that means you’ll get to start a new one! 🙂
