La Torretta

Sunday 25th May 2014

Woke up to a beautiful day and scene looking out over the surrounding countryside. We have made a decision to have a more leisurely day after the hectic pace of the last few weeks and start off by getting all of clothes washing up to date. J and I leave the girls and head off in search of one of the stores recommended by Barry Bower to buy some food for lunch.

We eventually find a delicatessen next to a coffee bar in a small town called Resina and buy the necessary foodstuffs at very reasonable prices.
Barry calls by the villa to check if all is OK and we learn that he was an airline pilot with among others , Cathay Pacific, and knows our friends Malcolm and Lin Ducker very well. It really is a small world.
J puts his chef’s hat on to prepare a lovely salad lunch on the back veranda and then just while away the time for a couple of hours. Barry had also made mention of a Conad supermarket in the nearby Ponte Pattoli so J and I set off in search of this store.Unfortunately, it is closed but it looks the perfect store from which to source all our foodstuffs. Halfway through our drive back to the villa we encounter the mother of all hailstorms and arrive back looking like drowned rats, much to the amusement of the girls.
Dinner is the leftovers of the sausages and steak of the previous evening and we all get to bed at a reasonable hour after a nice, relaxing day.
Cheers
The Obese Ferret.
