Quiet November in Lucca
... go…(hee hee!).
I bought some beautiful Ossobuco to cook up today and made sure it was cooking before taking off late in the afternoon to get singing practice in. The ‘Chiesa’ is so special…and I feel like it’s all mine as I am always there by myself. (and of course, it is very, VERY old!!!) Tonight I was singing and it was getting dark…i didn't have my glasses on …I saw 3 faces at the back of the church. They startled ...
Workaway
We decided we wanted to experience more of the Italian culture by living and working in Italy. This has always been something I wanted to do, and I really wanted to learn Italian.

Rest of the month in Lucca - a bit 'slack'
... all the ticket booths were closed…weird??? Then we checked what time the train was due to depart on the screen and all but 2 trains had a big ‘CANCELLED’ sign on it. Good Lord…we thought… what now!!!
We walked around a little watching everyone else starting to get upset and then we saw the reason. A large sign on the booth stating that the National Trains were all on strike for the day….hee hee…typical!!! The day we choose ...
