Yes we can - say “Autumn”!

One of the advantages of a blog is that it can act like a diary of seasons, weather and events.


It’s not quite a month since the last post where I was detecting the first glimmers of Autumnal weather. That, after a hot dry summer with forest fires in adjacent valleys destroying a lot of the nature in the area.

Autumn colours in the mountains


Having just been in the cabin sorting things out after the last people from a commercial website just left it like it was a fully staffed hotel with cleaners 24/7, (don’t talk to me 😬), I can confirm that Autumn is here!


Early stages but it’s here.


Cool evenings. Oh the joy!


Tawny Owls sounding positive.

Chestnuts on the trees, waiting for the real Autumn winds to bring food to the forest floors.


Mushrooms even - signalling that more are waiting underground for some rains before showing their caps.


The cabin is blocked from taking bookings from commercial websites until next summer - meaning it’s open for you to visit before I close it down for the winter, mid November.


If you would like to experience Autumn in the Italian mountains between now and then, just follow this link.

Enjoy the season!
