Benvenuto to all my lovely Loyal and New Followers
Forgive the lateness of this blog, which I blame entirely on the holiday weekend and the arrival of the Sister-in-law to celebrate her birthday. They say that pictures paint a thousand words, so to give you a taste of all our activities, I am filling this blog with fotos.

But before I launch you on a foto cruise, I will mention that Farty Barty the cat is now well and truly settled into his new home and whilst we still have pictures to hang on walls and books to unload onto shelves, we are pretty much settled in too. And some good news is finally filtering down from our local village of Fiano in that both the Bar/Alimentare and the main bar in the piazza are re-opening soon. This then means that we will be able to ring the changes for morning coffee, which is great.

OK, back to the weekend fun and frivolities. We have eaten out at three different restaurants since Friday and are off to a local family one called Montalbino (no not a relative of the great detective, his name is Montalbano) for lunch today. Now this little family osteria is hidden away in the countryside near Fiano and specialises in Fungi. The food is really good home-cooked family fare.

Otherwise, we had a family lunch party on Sunday, friends for supper last night, the sister-in-law has been horse riding with her daughter and up in a hot air balloon early this morning as today is her birthday.
Next weekend will be a little calmer and I will be able to catch up on all the local stuff that I know you guys like to hear about. Meanwhile, have a smile at the fotos and our glorious bit of Chianti.
Have a great week.
Salute June
