Even for me this was wild

On a tip-off I drove up to this house - a long winding gravel road that scrapped my bottom, so to speak. This adorable kitten gret me and fret me and followed me.

We were up at about 740m on Mt Giove passing through woodcut hills and a rare cistus (Cistus laurifolius) above Santa Brigida.

This house (the extra) must have a story to be told. But at €380k it might not be us telling it.

I am closer to the grail than ever. But as the road narrows it seems to divide into a bewildering range of possibility. And, of course, The Boss, on her return from Embra, will have her decisive say. Naturally.
