The House in early summer 2005

This is my first attempt to add a photo to the new Blog. I think it worked!

I'll now have to hunt for one of when I bought the 'wreck'. It's not finished outside yet, it still needs the 'colour wash'. But on the left you can see the 'hay store, and half hidden behind are the small farm buildings (not mine) where a couple of locals keep their stores, and one has his goats in there in the winter, the other just has 'chooks'! The Narrow lane runs between my place and the trees immediately behind.

The fence in the middle is the bottom of my garden, and the majority of my fruit trees are on the right. Monte Legnone, as you can see, starts right behind the house, and you can 'just' see it's peak in the mist!
I'll find the ones that the 'geometra' took during the work. They are quite surprising - not to say 'scary'.

But that's a start I guess. So I'll sign off for now......
