Busy Bees

The best thing about waking up where we live now is the peace and quiet, rather than the Vespas  chasing down our street at whats seems like 100miles an hour,  now I wake up every morning peek through the window and see whats going on in the hills of the Valpolicella. The weekend is obviously our precious time in our home and trying to get all the projects done we don't have a chance to do during the working week...

The allotment was in need of some tender loving care so we packed ourselves off to do some digging and planting for a couple of hours...a couple of hours pass in a shot when we amongst all the tomato plants, soil and picking the newly ripened. There was great excited around my beautiful runner beans I'd planted back in May, it grew into an amazing sight of twisting and winding shoots, flowering for the second time and this time we have our first crop, I'd almost given up.

We had a great morning out on our bikes heading to Pescantina for breakfast along the river.

Finding some great secret corners just 5-10 mins from our house once you're out of the car and either on foot or biking it...
