Under the Tuscan Sun

Well, it's back to normality with a bump. The autumn winds are a howlin' and the dark nights approacheth..... ok, so it's not all that bad but it is not aperitifs at sunset looking over yonder at the hills of Siena.... sigh...... Here are a few snaps of the lovely week we spent in Tuscany with my sister Grace, her husband Alan and their beautiful daughter Maud. We are extremely lucky to have had this house in the family since Grace was born over 30 years ago (woops, hope you don't mind me revealing your age sis) Yes, we are super spoilt - thank you Mum and Dad.

A shop that sold anything to do with the crusades. It was, without doubt the SPOOKIEST place I have ever been in to - at every turn there was a knight looming while dark gothic music played. Hell. Lenny loved it and has started a knight collection. Brrrrrrr
