LIFE IN UMBRIA (MONTEFALCO MEMORIES)











not many words in this post,
but about a million pictures
& a zillion memories behind them
from a week in the small Umbrian hilltop town
of Montefalco last summer.

a glimpse of the piazza above
turned into that fantasy setting
for velvety Italian evenings,
people gathered for a spritz 
before dinner,
while dark-haired, chocolate-eyed children
dart around on the square.
it's where we headed every night.









our home was down this little vicolo
about two minutes from the piazza.
the stone walls hid a simple, charming paradise.



































after a week in Tuscany,
we loved the slightly more authentic vibe,
less tourists,
living more like locals.

RIPOSO IN PIENZA













since the last post,
the big white has just got bigger,
& I've caught myself 
missing the heat. 


the beauty of photography 
is its ability to transport you
wherever you wish,
today,
to the quiet streets of pretty little town Pienza.
we walked its streets
at riposo time
after a week in Tuscany,
on our way to spend  a week in Umbria.































































if you're feeling the cold, too,
I hope these raised the temperature
a few notches :)

TUSCAN HAVEN













pulling out images
from the haven where we stayed last summer,
in the middle of Tuscan countryside.

AN OCTOBER DAY IN STOCKHOLM

















an October day wandering around Stockholm.





















the day began with breakfast at Snickarbacken 7
& a walk around Östermalm. 












then we headed to Gamla Stan,
which always seems to take you by surprise,
reveal another layer of itself...




























we all had an autumn flu,
but the quieter side streets & cafés were a pretty good remedy.






















until next time....
