| Christina walking in Montcluse |
Our introduction to the Italian people was interesting.... we asked for directions to the villa and ended up with a group of Italian women gestulating and gabbering to us in the street - as well as them yelling across the street to ask for others opinons - what a racket and how fabulous! They gave a great long list of instructions in Italian (at great speed) and the only word we all understood was 'left'. We eventually got to the villa to find what we thought was the gardener (cigar, old cloths and all) was actually the property owner. Thank goodness he spoke a 'leetle ingliss'. After getting his life histroy and achievements we finally settled in. (this was very much how Christina and I remembered the people of Italy - very friendly!)
We are now settled into the next villa - a real contrast to Monclus - from a tiny French hill village to a rural Tuscan farmhouse - huge and great!
Haven't sorted web access in Italy yet - pics and more to come as soon as we do (doing this from the side of the road - mystery www access..????)
(We love reading your comments by the way - great to be in touch)
by the way - a picture of the camera in the river....
