Arezzo and sad news

An outing to Arezzo by way of the garish Prada outlet just of the A1 motorway at Incisa. Between you me and it's shite.

But a day of translucent light that dazzled. Arezzo a revelation after the crowds of Florence and Sienna. Beautiful squares rising on a low hill. And lastly a late look at the stunning Piero della Francesco frescos (see the extra) in the Basilica Inferiore di San Francesco.

We were very lucky to have so few people to contend with

Then arriving home after a weird turn-around-the-block to get to a huge Fi Coop messages came in that my Mum had had a fall at home and broken her hip.
