Forget what I said few days ago, crap weather again wet wet wet! We are doing some rennovation work at Villa Fontelunga: Philip redesigned the kitchen and we builders doing it at the moment: it will be a fantastic new room! as well this year we are resurficing the pool a sort of facelift (as expensive as well). Philip and myself are off later today for the week end in Brussels and on Sunday we will take the ferry to go to London for the week. yes we are going with the car for 2 reasons : 1) we need to take with us the Prop for our stand at La Dolce Vita exibition in islington at the Design Center (have a look at the following web page http://www.ladolcevitaevent.co.uk/2010 and if you fancy it come over to have a look and say hi to us ) our olive oil and wine.2) Philip's mum is thretening to burn all of Philip's architectual books that have been in her garage and attic for te last 10 years!
So we are driving over to London , a little adventure that we have not done since we moved to Tuscany.

Had a great week end at Fontelunga: finally mild weather , quite sunny.We spent time in the garden, Philip actually doing some gardening and myself chatting to him.
Good news for our olive grove: it survived this terrible winter,the snow and the really cold weather.Today went to the market in Foiano and bought lots of Herb plants, Thyme,sage,lavander,rosemary. we will plant them in the herbs garden when we are back from London in 10 days time.

Finally some sun so yesterday we went to Todi for lunch with some friends.
Please please if you are ever in the area go for lunch at la Mulinella , just outside Todi in Umbria. We had homemade fettucine with Goose ragu , follwed by pork fillet with mushroom! Delicious!

Hello my friends , we are back in Tuscany after a fantastic Holiday in Mexico. we went all over from Yucatan to Quintana Roo and Jalisco. Went to visit many Mayan Temples and finished our holiday in Puerto Vallarta.
I m busy in the office sorting out my mail while Philip is supervising few decorating jobs we are doing at Fontelunga: we will have a new kitchen this year !
Weather today was lovely and sunny but since we arrived back last week we had lots of rain and snow at the week end.
Happy San Valentine
ciao Paolo
