It is time to leave Italy and return to Australia.
Time to say goodbye to Casa Debbio. The garden will be in the capable hands of Filippo.
Time to say goodbye to Ponte a Serraglio.
Time to drive past the gorgeous Ponte della Maddalena for the last time (this visit).
I will be back in September for a while to prune the garden and get it ready for winter.
We are not going straight home. We will spend a week in Iceland and a few days in Helsinki before heading for Brisbane. There will be photos.
Yes much as you hate leaving Italy, Brisbane is waiting for you to return. The weather is divine here – blue skies crisp cool mornings and nights . Anyway we are missing you Time to come home.

Theses are gorgeous photos… the bridge reminds me of the small town of Dolceaqua, (Northern Italy) where we spent the day.
