An older photo today, taken a few years ago when I still had a decent camera.
Taken whilst driving to work one morning in the hills above Valfabbrica.

Here is a fissure in the Earth caused by earthquakes, viewed from two different directions, in Italy’s stunning Piano Grande. The valley is yellow with blooming fields of lentils.

“Il freddo è una condizione mentale”, quante volte ho espresso questa mia convinzione e quante volte gli amici mi hanno ribattuto che il freddo è freddo e basta, eppure per essere qui in questo gelido garage alle ore 07.00 di un ghiacciato mattino di dicembre preparandomi per affrontare in moto circa 500 km di strada verso uno dei luoghi più freddi, ma anche più suggestivi, d’Italia, serve una ferrea convinzione mentale...

The stream in the bottom of our valley the other morning. It was a cold morning and steam was rising above the warmer waters.

A row of 'puzzoni' down in the woods yesterday. Edible, but with a strong slightly bitter taste.

The funghi are late this year, and the best are still to come (if they do).
But at least we found enough this morning for a good pasta ai funghi.

Umbria can only be the'green heart of Italy' if it rains - and it's done a lot of that these last few days! Not disastrously so as in other Italian regions, but enough to make us long for summer!
