Not up early, for a change!

We spent the day pottering around. We took Jess for a walk up the hill to Portese, stopping on the way back to buy some beautiful produce from the old man around the corner, Angelo, who grows everything himself in his huge back garden / allotment. And for good measure, because we bought some tomatoes, he gave us some fresh and amazingly-scented basil to go with them. All in all, we had a bag-full of lovely produce for a mere €1.50.

At tea time, Ed and Julia (E&J from now on) were going up to the village of Portese, so we thought we’d join them in a pre-dinner cocktail at the amazingly-named Bar Furious. It’s a beautiful setting, overlooking the lake, and every round of drinks comes with a plate of lovely pizza nibbles.

After dinner, it was over to E&J’s for what was going to be a game of Rummikub, but we spent the time chatting instead.
