Cath's Cache: Shade under the wisteria

Shade under the wisteria

Where once there were flowers on the wisteria there are now leaves. They have given me the perfect excuse to pot some flowery plants and don the table with a brightly coloured tablecloth. The leaves are giving us a beautiful cool shade over the pergola for our breaks on sunny days. The much younger wisteria on the fienile isn't doing too bad either...

About Me

I am middle aged. My partner is Stuart. I have no children of my own but I do share 2 stepchildren and 4 nieces and nephews. I love words. In 2008, my partner and I purchased a 200 year old stone house and 5 acres of forest surrounding it in Piemonte, Italy. We spent the next year dreaming about it before we tossed our global careers to the wind and moved there. We knew we didn't have enough money to last long but we wanted to test our dream to see if it really was everything we thought it would be. It was. Far too quickly our money ran out so we returned to the Pacific and worked 2 years in Australia and 1 year in Papua New Guinea. We have recently counted our pennies again, resigned and returned to our little slice of history in Italy. I write about the challenges that beset us here and the joy of the simple lifestyle that is our dream...
