Thank you so much! I am a complete girl's blouse and drama queen. I've now invested the princely sum of 15 Euros and found some very flat cycle rides- and even found pond turtles so all good. Have a lovely summer too- where are you?
Fabulous blog as always Pia. We have been in Lucca for a few weeks now and feel quite at home, in fact we will hate to leave. Right now we’re sitting at Caffe Santa Zitta enjoying a glass of wine and an aperitivo.
Ooo that was tricky! It was bouncing back to my unpopulated first attempt at a substack!
Thank you so much for your kind words and I’m delighted you are enjoying Lucca! Are you free this evening? We are going to the ex pat drinks ( 4 onwards) and would love to meet up. I’ll dig out the name of the bar, it’s on the walls near Porta Elisa ( east side) or we could go to cafe zitta for an aperitivo. It would be lovely to meet you :-)
Funny blog! 😂
Well, thanks to the gardener and the crow for a longer-than-hoped-for workout I guess!

Exactly - but 15 Euros later and I now have brakes! (And very slightly thinner ankles from all the exercise)
What an adventure! I was holding my breath hoping you'd get home safe.
Enjoy your summer!

Whoever put the horizontal bar on men's bicycles was either a sadistic or secretly trying to create more soprano singers. Great post.
I know! Who can leap acrobatically from a bike with a metal rod in the way.
Thank you :-) Getting home I found out I’d been climbing Mont Legnaio… next to the epically named Mont Verruca!

Yes! We went to that 2 Mondays ago and plan to be there today! La Casermetta I believe is the place - San Salvatore bastion on the Wall.
Yes! Perfect! Look out for the unfit woman in a white dress and flowy blue thing with a tall happy man, and we’ll look out for you :-) oooo exciting!
I’ll be in my stretchy blue jeans and doggy-paw T-shirt 😆 short salt ‘n pepper hair! 😁😁
