On Friday, we headed across the valley to have a walk and a picnic in the woods around the village of Carregine. Last year we did a similar walk, but got lost, and had to be helped on our way by a truffle hunter and his dog. This time, a good time was had by all, except that we decided to take a "short-cut" back to the car. Big mistake. We became lost again and ended up walking far too far. So, with 21,574 steps on the step-counter - well done Betty! (and us ...)

| This gentleman had taken a break from chopping firewood for his pizza oven to carve a practice cheese to be used in the run-up to the local cheese-rolling competition - true facts! |

| This fox, seen in field outside the village, seemed happy to do its insect-hunting as we looked on nearby |

| The mass of the two Panias seen on our way back down in the car, as the clouds roll in |
incredible, how near you got to the fox. And how nice Betty and Barbara, with Monte Tambura in the back!
