Little house on the prairie

Today both my sister and youngest brother said they thought they might have it. Oldest brother reports that Boston Mass is a ghost town. Middle bother reports his son stuck in Spain. Friends from New York trying to leave the city. Mum’s home is closed to visitors. Terry is taking more precautions in Edinburgh. 11 new cases are recorded in our Arezzo province. The builders have closed down operations. We had a virtual coffee with our friend in Emilia-Romagna. And as we sat and watched the main road to Florence we saw one car in a full five minutes.

The painting and cleaning continued. The sun was warm and then dark clouds hugged the mountains and a cold north-easterly wind began to blow.
