Amazing!

Sono 102 le tartarughe marine nate nella riserva di Torre Guaceto dal primo nido documentato nell’area protetta.

The swallows are back, followed in the evening by the bats….

The wonderful Carnevale Di Putignano

At Christmas there’s a lot of pressure to be perfect and have it all. We see adverts showing happy families in matching PJs, huge piles of expensive presents, nobody is having a drunken row, grieving for a loved one, struggling with finding money for their Christmas dinner or feeling lonely in these adverts.

The Samaritans have a free number - 116 123 (UK). A simple copy and paste might save someone's life.

Would 3 of my Facebook friends please copy this post?? Thank you. 😊

Remember - it's OK not to be OK

All the streets are looking so beautiful. One day....

Our olive harvest is well underway….

This is what our guest did - just cut out a section of our garden, moved a pot plant, and put rocks around (not sure why).

Just back from one of our best stays at the villa - 17 days of glorious high 20s sunshine. The only clouds on the horizon were the Xylella which has spread to some of our olive trees, and someone, (Giuseppe says a guest), cutting out a big section of a flower bed, which cost us 2 days of our holiday and over 200 Euros to put right, someone deciding to rearrange my kitchen and put out all of our best crockery, and other guests leaving chemical burn marks on our o***m table. It is heartbreaking when guests treat our house with such disrespect.
But - we are happy with what we have done with the flower bed, I’ve put my kitchen back as it was, and the tree man is cutting all our trees back and treating them biologically to prevent further damage. On top of that we already have guests booked for next Summer (but will be much more vigilant as to the state of the house and garden when they leave).

This says it all. A truly beautiful area to visit - and booking direct saves you money!

Now that Christmas is paid for, thoughts are turning to holidays. We are looking forward to welcoming new and returning guests to our holiday home.

Our first visit of the year has come to an end. It has been hard work, very hot, and we didn't manage every job we wanted to do, but are pleased with what we did. Painting the veranda in 33 degrees is not something I want to repeat in a hurry. Now to get home and see our grandsons! Until the Autumn, Mimosa. ❤️

And all of a sudden the bookings started coming in! People are beginning to feel a bit more confortable about travelling. We have booked our flight today, and can't wait to get back.
Last year we arrived to find Giuseppe had planted vegetables for us! Such a lovely kind man. Nothing is too much trouble.
Don't forget, we offer discount for friends.

October is always hit and miss but, despite predicted rain, we have had glorious weather, allowing us to relax by the pool and also do some gardening. I always enjoy preparing our meals here too.
