Attended the wake of a local artist that I’d meet who was such a memorable character , full of life, ideas and hard work . Killed in a head in crash by a 19yr old driving recklessly.
He and his wife bought this enormous tumbling down pile ( see extra) and ran ‘live art ‘ courses . He was wonderful and bonkers . RIP. There was a fine turn out and a suitable Irish informal ‘do’ to view the body, meet his family and other friends and neighbours . We sat in the sunshine talking , eating and drinking tea until the sun went down . Funeral is tomorrow. Carpe Diem.
Hubs has made it safely to Florence this eve . Some of the paths he walked on a few days ago have been washed away in mudslides after half a year of rain fell in 36 hrs around Bologna. The region is reeling, it’s shocking to see. I’m looking forward to having him home .
