Welcome and Benvenuto to all my Lovely Followers around the World,
Before I start, I must apologise. I have spent most of the weekend watching the Rugby World Cup, instead of writing to you. So I trust you can forgive me for making this blog a little shorter than usual as it is already lunchtime on Sunday! What a great match yesterday, England played incredibly well, the poor All Blacks couldn’t even get a look in. So today’s match between Wales and South Africa was rather an anti-climax. Anyway, now we know that the final next weekend will be England vs South Africa. Make sure you diary date to watch it! Foto UK Telegraph
Ooops, sorry, just realised that I have been waxing lyrical about Rugby and you have tuned in to read about Tuscany. To make up for this I am posting some gorgeous fotos of the autumn colour that currently surrounds us and hope that you can enjoy it as much as we are. The vineyards develop lines of colour due to the planting of different grape varieties in one field. This results in the gorgeous range of colours including yellow, gold, bronze and red. Driving through the hills this morning we were able to enjoy some autumn canvases that are difficult to photograph and need to be seen here to really appreciate. Sorry about that. But here are some lovely shots.
I must also mention that the local farmers are very busy with the olive harvest and brightly coloured nets are spread out under the trees. The harvest started over a week ago, and whilst this year may be a little less productive due to the nasty fly again, the oil should be very nice indeed. We also have some lovely productive pomegranate bushes. I’m never quite sure how best to use the fruits, but I I’m sure you will come up with some ideas. Drop me a line at june.finnigan@virgin.net or leave a message below.
Well, must dash off to lunch, but will add a little more to this blog when I return. OK, I’m back and ready to tidy this blog and get it off to you. But before I go I thought you might like to enjoy this bottle of Sticciano’s Cantastorie Rosso with me, which my man and I had with lunch at C’era una Volta Ristorante. Ooops sorry, we finished it off. Oh well, perhaps next time!
Have a great week and do visit my website at My Site
Salute June x
