Onward

So despite my fine words yesterday underneath it all and it’s 2am bravado I had been nabbed by the carabinieri for an ‘infrazione’ that they repeated in order to nab me. The ritual humiliation and anger at my own stupidity after driving that road a thousand times. Still the fine was only €29.40 and the two points replaces the three harsh Mull-bound speeding points I was about to lose.

And rain and havoc did arrive yesterday on the Romagna coast with one guy killed by lightning and a deluge of hail, flash floods and a terrifying downburst in Milano Marritima. And later in Greece today.

Ructions all bloody over.

The produce from the garden is solace as I claw my way back in parity with my exasperating two hectares of recalcitrant and slightly more known land.
