It is very hot today and they say we will still have it for two weeks before we can have some refreshment. On the other hand, it is the 20th of August. My husband and I are on vacation and we certainly don’t mind. We happily sit here by the pool in a lovely B&B nestled in the Tuscan countryside. After a trip to Monteriggioni we came to freshen up before going to dinner. The pool is small in size but everything is extremely well cared for: the English lawn, the flower pots, the climbing plants that ensure privacy. Each room has an umbrella and a couple of deckchairs at its disposal, accompanied by a nice colored table. I like objects that are so special. The lady who runs this place proudly said it’s called LEM and it is a design coffee table. Well, it shows. While I support my aperitif, I want to buy one for the living room. In the meantime, however, I’ll settle for another bathroom.
