OK, so completely ignore that post from yesterday.  I am not getting Nonno's car and I am not selling mine.  His car is being donated to a needy, somewhat, relative.  I cleaned my car inside and out for nothing!

Today we went for our first walk since we've come back.  As we had to drive Grace to school where she was working at a function, GP and I walked some of the back roads up behind it.  Harvest has started and the countryside was full of tractors and people working in the fields.  Grapes are ripe for picking and the wine-making season is almost upon us.  We'll soon head out to the Langhe for a big dinner with friends.  I'm looking forward to it.  So far our two eats away from home have been Indian and Chinese.  Hmmm.

Me with grapes.  I'm already losing my tan!

    Looking down over the school's rooftops.     

 We wandered down a road that we had never taken before.  It was lined with large old trees and magnificent high stone walls covered in ivy.  The walls finally gave way to an iron fence and then an Addams family style gate.  Hiding behind those walls was a huge manor house in great need of loving care.  It was hidden away on this narrow dirt road, little more than a track, and surrounded by woods and parkland.  I wanted to scale the walls and find it's gardens but GP wouldn't let me.  Oh how I'd love to get my hands on that place!  xxoo me

looky!  Mine all mine!
