On our very first day here at Malpertus the neighbour feeding a lamb, our kids were instantly hooked. Carina had a turn feeding this little baby. I'll have to hunt out the photos.

the sun is slowly returning to our house after an eight week absence. The mountains have a wild side that is so beautiful in winter with the mist, fog, and snow on the mountain tops. It always feels as if a character from Game of Thrones could wander through the Borgata at any moment.

I'm also sharing over on tiktok (and loving it) you can find me at Renovating Italy Club

We're still busy at the army barrack, I'm onto the interior painting (sam hates painting so it's my job as I'm the patient one). I'll start posting all the stories over at www.renovatingitalyclub.com if you want to follow along.

ciao for now

Our big original gates that lead into a courtyard at Borgata Malpertus. Repaint, strip them back, or leave them as they are?
