Italian breakfast

I love both places. I am keen to get get back to Italy and my garden at Casa Debbio. Filippo, who takes care of things while we are away, has told us cinghiale have been digging up the garden looking for food. I hope they haven’t caused too much damage.

I will be heading up to Paris to see the Dior Exhibition and south to Sorrento to visit my relatives. I am planning a few more excursions as well. I hope you will all join me for some new adventures.

  1. Hope your garden is looking good for the Fall. Travel safe – I will be in touch from the USA. Give my love to your beautiful village. Bon voyage Deb.

    • You too! We will both be in the northern hemisphere for a while.

  2. Wishing you happy travels, Deb. Hope your garden hasn’t been too damaged, looking forward to following your excursions.

    • It has been such a dry, hot summer I suppose the cinghiale came looking for some nice green grass.

  3. How lucky you are…..hope the gardens are not too damaged…..

    • I hope so too. Wild goats are usually our biggest problem, but the lure of some green grass proved too tempting for the wild boar.
