Our lovely friend Filippo, who helps us with the garden at Casa Debbio, took a photo of our mountain house from a distance in the recent snow falls.
I love it when there is snow at Casa Debbio.
Here is a photo he took of Vergemoli from the road above.
This charming photo was taken in the village. I really wish I was there to see it.
Our area has been experiencing wild weather, with snow, wind and heavy rain. We need rain and plenty of it.
I look forward to being back at Casa Debbio in February to start spring planting at Casa Debbio. In summer 2018 I want lots of colourful annuals.
Oh, wow, it looks so beautiful – perfect for home and hearth – and Christmas.

Casa Debbio is 600 metres above sea level. The snow didn’t last long, but there is snow on the mountains around the village.

Absolutely stunning. Every season would change the scenery to something else just as beautiful. Enjoy your time back in Australia and merry Christmas 🤗

There’s been heavy snow in a lot of places in Italy. I left Verona yesterday, Monday, and the snow started falling on Sunday afternoon. By Monday morning everywhere was covered in snow just like your place. It was very cold and slippery walking around. Anyway I hope your garden is getting lots of rain and will be flourishing when you return.
Cheers
Robyn, in Milano

The village doesn’t get snow all that often, but it is pretty when it does.

Winter in Italy, especially around Christmas, is absolutely magic, Debra.
