Over the last week or so blog posts have been infrequent – so infrequent that there haven’t been any actually. The reason is simply because we’ve had visitors – from New Zealand and the UK. We have been busy – a complete novelty after 3 months of doing, well, nothing.
In addition to Charmaine, Mike and little James we’ve had Danny Malone a mate from KiwiRail arrive on his latest European trip and Gill, Andre and Josh and Jordan jet in from the UK.
In the last few days we’ve been sightseeing in Pisa, Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Volterra. We’ve eaten out in cafe’s, our local pizza restaurant and a restaurant with a carpark that turns into seating at night. We’ve laid by the pool, we’ve made a dent in the national stock levels of Chianti and Birra and generally had a great time.
A mixed assortment of pictures follow.

Hiya, I’m really glad I have found this information. Today bloggers publish only about gossip and web stuff and this is really irritating. A good web site with exciting content, that is what I need. Thank you for making this website, and I’ll be visiting again. Do you do newsletters? I Can’t find it.
Thanks for your comment. The great thing about living in Tuscany is that there is always something to write about – even if, at the moment, it’s only how hot it is.
Ciao
Graeme
