It is time to go home to Australia. The weather was great in Paris (apart from the heat in the first week) and Italy. It has been a warm, dry autumn until the last few days when skies have thrown down heavy rain.
The river in front of our apartment in Ponte a Serraglio has turned into a raging torrent. I admit that I like to watch the scene unfold from the safety of my window, but I am aware that it causes some damage.
The Devil’s Bridge has a brown reflection.
At Casa Debbio the rain was torrential and the wind has brought down some trees. Houses in the village below are a bit more exposed than our place and several roofs have been damaged.
The swirling mists in the mountains around us make a beautiful scene…from the comfort of my bedroom window.
As I write this the sun has come out and the river is more calm.
I will return in February. I still have several posts to write about Paris and the road trip I did to Abruzzo and beyond with my son.
Where has that time gone .. look forward to a catch up before Christmas 🎄
I always enjoy your blogs 🙏 Thank you Deb.

Rain and storms are common at this time of the year. We needed rain.

OH dear already, that time seems to have flown.
Such a pity with so much rain there & here in Queensland we are really wanting some to put out bushfires.

It is a pity rain can’t be shared quietly where it is needed.

There was a lot packed into this visit. It was fun to have my son with me for some of it.

The river changed quickly once the heavy rain started.
