In just over a week we'll be jetting to Italy with our friends.
It would be an understatement to say that I am looking forward to getting away!!!!
One of the things that we'll be doing is visiting a number of Tuscan hill towns.
The hill towns of central Italy hold their crumbling heads proudly above the noisy flood of the 21st century and offer a peaceful taste of what eludes so many tourists. Sitting on a timeless rampart high above the traffic and trains, hearing only children in the market as the rustling wind ages the weary red-tile patchwork that surrounds me, I find the essence of Italy.
There are a dozen great touristed towns and countless ignored communities casually doing time and drinking wine. I think this time we'll try and explore some of both . . .
The last photo reminds me of Deruta - maybe a little ceramic shopping?
Have a wonderful time - hope you get warm weather.

Happy jerry!!!
