At Home, a rest day

A rest day today, reading and planning tours around Tuscany for the coming 2 weeks. 

We walked to the local markets at Piazza del Cure to stock up on fresh produce; called into the Coop for a couple of items, and into a patisserie for some fresh bread and a couple of sweet treats. We walked back along the little Fiume (can't find a name for it, maybe an offshoot of the Arno?) and took a few photos. The ducks we saw there a few days ago were absent - maybe they have flown south to warmer weather.

We sat on our little patio, adjoining, the garden, for a nice cup of tea with an apple and apricot tart.

There is still a bit of a brisk breeze, heralding winter, which we are hoping will go away for a week or two while we continue our exploration of Tuscany.

Lunch was fresh crusty bread with cheese and a pear for me, cheese salad and bread plus a plum for Lindy. Why does simple food taste so much better when you are away from home?

Lindy found a great sounding cooking tour (Walkabout Florence) for us to take, cost €80 each. We've booked for Tuesday 13th. Tomorrow we're booked to tour the Accademia del'arte, to see the original David. I've been before but it's well worth a second visit.
