Living One’s Christmas

One December day has followed another with ever more gloriously blue skies. However, we are now due for a change with night temperatures down to minus 4 and the real possibility of snow during the day. So let’s stock up our larder with all the Christmas goodies that are coming our way including panforte, panettone, and loads of chocolate. Let us also remember to buy something more to donate to those in need (both of the two-legged and four-legged variety.)

Fornoli square has the right idea:

And Tuodi has too.

There will, no doubt, be other collection points:

Also at Tuodi (which is on the way from Fornoli to Fornaci di Barga) there are ecologically minded discounts on food which are near their sell-by date. It’s crazy to think that in many instances over half the food on sale in supermarkets eventually finds its way to land-fill sites!

Don’t forget these two unmissable events.

The first is the traditional Bagni di Lucca Christmas Concert at the library (former Anglican Church) which is this 13^th December. There are still a few places left (booking is essential) and there will be an entrance donation of euros five which will go to the restoration of the Bagni di Lucca protestant cemetery.
