Oh, @riverflows - there should be a sexiest garden post prize, no?? That would be fun and creative!
And yey, you'd be so welcome to pop by for a plate of gocchi e zucca or similare, and a big calice di vino rosso del Sannio! It'd be a delight to share tips and show you around.... we have regular aperitivo here, which now that the mozzies are abating (I wishfully declare!) will be even more lovely.... A presto! x
