It is great to be back in our little part of Italy. We have now had our apartment in Ponte a Serraglio for almost 22 years!
I have arrived just in time to watch spring unfold. There have been some sunny days and some wet ones.
Daffodils have come up in my balcony pots and I have planted pansies on the bridge. They should grow well for a couple of months.
Magnolia flowers are opening in the warm weather.
The nearby Devil’s bridge always looks great. The road past on our side of the river is closed for 3 months so I will miss the view.
I discovered an excellent new (for me) cafe/bar in Pietrasanta, a favourite nearby town. I will definitely become a regular at Cafe Duomo.
I had a great day in Florence with blue sky and warm weather.
I almost bought myself a lovely birthday present…but didn’t.
It is difficult to choose between Giacosa and Caffe Gilli when in Florence. The answer is obviously to do both.
I made it to the final day of the Viareggio Carnevale, more on that in another post. Here is a small sample of the amazing event.
