Arrival

I drove The Boss back to Fiesole and returned to the house to keep an eye on plants as the weather worsened from a violent thunderstorm and torrential rain. The temperature plummeted and I stoked up the fire, made a casserole, sipped red wine and read deep into the night.

You can see the new compost bins I’ve knocked together on legs that need shortening and digging in.

The weather improved slightly as I passed our smallholding neighbours (extra).
