We returned yesterday to our favourite spot of the River Lima. In the late afternoon sun there seemed little hint of the raging night that had preceded the day except for the beautiful waterfalls created by the weir which has been well-restored (thankfully).

Summer had, indeed, returned, but already the atmosphere was tinged with the precursors of autumn. Today there is an energetic wind and a soft rainfall spreading throughout the landscape.

Will the concert to be given today at 5.30 p in the old protestant cemetery at Bagni di Lucca to celebrate the restoration of further tombs be rained off I wonder?
