Shopping in Castiglione

We had hoped (and booked1) to go to Urbino, by car, this weekend, however, dense fog was affecting the roads of Tuscany on Friday and Saturday, so we reluctantly cancelled.  Not only would it have been an unpleasant driving experience - we would have missed the views of the "real Tuscany", as it appears on the postcards ...  Another time, we hope.

Today we went up the valley to Castiglione where we know a good fruit & veg shop and an excellent grocer, with cafe attached.

Each morning has been marked with dense fog, clearing as the day went on

We had a dander afterwards, and were impressed by this crabapple tree - the fruit looking so like cherries!

And even more so, close up ...
