A wet farewell

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.
