Lucignano is a beautiful, small city on top of the hill.















La Collegiata di san Michele Arcangelo

the door of La Collegiata di san Michele Arcangelo
more doors…(I shot dozens of door pics)




My previous posts from Tuscany, Italy:
part 1, 2, 3, 4
More about Lucignano > abcTuscany.com

What a mess my life is now!
Our stuff from Casa arrived and we have too much of everything.
We’ve recycled this and that but not enough. sigh!
The weather is beautiful, at the end of the week it’s going to be hot, +30 C / 86 F!
Why my life is a mess?
No shower for two days…you see why!

An old mosquito bite encapsulated and it’s going to be analysed. It should be “clean’, just an old bite…
Stitches will be removed after two weeks…argh!
Don’t ask me why I didn’t change the operation time…
autumn would’ve been much better time for this!

Renovation started today.
Our bedroom and my room are empty and waiting for the big change.
Even if our whole weekend was mainly moving our stuff
we had time to have long Nordic walks in fresh air!
WHITE

Poor Wood anemones were freezing yesterday, it was windy and not very warm…


GREEN

We love walking here Helsinki!
From our back yard it’s only 1 minute to a foot/bike path.
Only a couple of minutes more and you can choose
from many directions where to walk/bike – woods, beach, city center…

Day by day greener and greener…


My hubby Nordic walking…
RED

Helsinki city life! oh la laa…
