Our time in Italy has come to an end…for now. I really like winter in Brisbane and I am ready to resume my Australian life.
I will miss my beautiful garden at Casa Debbio. My flowers are gorgeous this year.

 



I will miss my lovely Ponte a Serraglio and my morning coffee and sfoglia at Bar Italia.

 





There have been some excellent developments in Ponte a Serraglio recently. Bar Italia has been renovated and it is great. The bar is busy all day and the piazza has come alive again.
A young couple has opened a fabulous fruit and vegetable shop beside the bar and it is also busy all the time. I love being able to walk across the bridge and buy just about everything I need.
The Corona hotel has been renovated and will be open soon as the Hotel Nazionale. Best of all they have opened a new restaurant where we have eaten some of the best food in the area.
It is great to see some growth in our little part of Italy. See more on  http://bellabagnidilucca.com
My iPad has been playing games. Once I get it sorted I will go through the photos of our trips in Europe this visit and there will be more posts soon.
