Winter work (1)

On Friday, our second delivery of wood for the winter arrived - stacking it will be a job for later.  Meanwhile, the olive trees have just been pruned, producing large amounts of small branches which will need to be burned.  We spent an hour or two transporting them to the bonfire site, to be burned another day.  It was warm work climbing and descending the terraces to clear the branches ...

Dave and Donella are now in Lucca, we will go there to see them off tomorrow.

Lunch al fresco - cold air, but warm terrace!

Nearing the end of the task ...
