Back to Umbria, March 2025

I'm glad to have a new laptop (Thanks, DD!) and get back to some blogging!

I'm writing this from Venice, actually. We've been here in Venice a week and head home to Umbria today.

Hopefully a post to come soon on our stay in Venice.

We arrived in early March to Rome, did our traditional night of pizza at Remo-

As always, exhausted but happy to be back...

This trip, we decided to bring along our Toasty bear. He was instantly comfortable and fits right in at The Nut. We knew he would-

Oh, Toasty...you crazy bear.

All is well here, though March was brutal, weather wise. Many days of cold wet and windy. It's March!

Upside, we tucked in with a good fire in the evenings and enjoyed relaxing with our books, cooking and going to bed early.

All was well when we got to The Nut, and we spent a few days just cleaning and shopping so we are settled in.

We're enjoying the views, walking in the mornings and spending time in the piazza most days.

The Toasty Bear loves the wood burning stove!

Of course I'm enjoying the markets and fixing treats at home...

Typical lunch 

There has been a lot of rain, and the landscape is incredibly green.

I'm looking forward to how it's changed in the week we've been up here in Venice. This is how it looked when we left-

More yummy food at home, I made a great pasta frittata with leftover pasta. I can't recommend this enough! When there isn't enough pasta left for dinner, just add eggs and cheese!

Johnny is getting the studio ready for painting when we get back. In the meantime, it's nice as a dining area.

All in all, we're happy to be back here, ignoring the world, eating, sipping, and taking our walks.

Is that so bad?
