Huge celebration today as one of my neighbours and good friend Marco married Laura in the regal setting of the town hall in our local town of Gubbio under hot Italian sunshine. Here are the happy couple descending the stairs moments before the traditional rice is thrown.

I’m still here and so is the sun
No writing, no blogging of late, it seems I have been on strike, not true. It is not that I have not hd anything to say, it is just that I have been demoralised, and felt rebellious and thought not to blog for a bit. For the past six years blogging has been a significant […]
Hmmmm…. it’s been a bit of work in the making
Clearing through photos this morning at Bellaugello Gay Country House I came across this set which brought back memories of just how the house was and all the effort we put into restoring it to make what you see today. The south elevation of Bellaugello 2009 – 2015 enjoy!

Digging in the garden
Potatoes, lettuces, onions from Tropea, garlic, artichokes all planted in the sun at Bellaugello Gay Country House
On measurement
It is snowing here in Umbria. I woke to flurries of snow that are still hours later flurrying but refusing to settle. So strange when here at Bellaugello Gay Country House just two days ago it was hot and sunny like summer, so much so that I am convinced I have started my annual tan. […]
