LA BELLA STAGIONE

The Romans built the Strada Basolata that snakes its way up and down Italy from the capital. A segment of that amazing road branches off behind Cortona whilst another intersection takes it over to Mercatale, where the estate agent's office is.

On Sunday, whilst the main square was buzzing with tourists (mainly Americans), the Basolata was amazingly quiet, with only a scattering of butterflies and flowers.


Spies planted microphones along the way.


But we had out own radio controlled device.


Ok, it was over 35degrees, not the best temperature for a walk, so we eventually retreated to Casa Alessandra for a dip in the pool.


An this is an artichoke!!
