Hello my darlings, long time no blog.
As my dearly departed mother used to say, time flies whether your having fun or not.
So a quick recap on the last 5 (yes read it and weep) FIVE years.
We got back from our Italianate adventures safe and sound.
Though we absolutely LOVE the place, ultimately it is as infuriating as it is breathtaking.
Living there is not an option.
We have enjoyed a few shorter visits in between. The Venice bianalle (of course). Back to Florence and we always ski in Alta Badia as many times as we can afford every year.
Now we have sold our B and B and have moved to an unreconstructed mid century chalet bungalow just round the corner. Great views over a tidal salt water lake and far enough away from the clanging church bells for us to enjoy them.We are at the planning stage of an eco renovation, knocking out all the ground floor walls and installing solar thermal, Solar voltaic panels, an air source heat pump. Air and rainwater recycling and underfloor heating throughout and insulating, insulating,insulating.
Lots of folks have asked us to blog the eco House, studio/ garden renovation so here we go.
