It is time to go back to Australia for a while. I will miss Bagni di Lucca for obvious reasons.


I wonder if my purple flowers will survive the winter on my balcony.

I will miss the mountains in the mist and the gorgeous autumn colour.



…and I will miss Casa Debbio.
Here is the view from the house on my last morning.



Today I begin the long haul home. I will stay in Rome tonight, fly to Helsinki for a couple of days and arrive in Brisbane on Saturday.
I will be back in February to get back into the garden for the next stage of planting…and some new adventures.
