It's been a while...

Last week we returned to our favourite place in Italy, the Piedmont, for a week of relaxation.  
But it wasn't long before the back road between Novello and La Morra tempted us. It was very quiet, with just a few hills to make it interesting,
and the scenery was stunning!
So, we borrowed the bikes from the agriturismo where we were staying and set off for a leisurely morning ride through the vineyards.
Memories of a wonderful cycling holiday in France, more than five years ago, came flooding back.
Even though we were slightly saddle sore afterwards, we both agreed that it was great to be back on the bikes!
Nostra vacanza in Piemonte era bellisimo!

    Lovely to see you both back on your bikes in such a beautiful setting. You seem so suited to the Milano lifestyle.

      Thanks Di. We had perfect weather for our week of holidays. Once again we plan to return to this corner of Italy, next time in Autumn when they harvest the truffles.

    Good to see you back on your bike and haven't been spooked by your previous accident. Tsk, Tsk, no helmet!

      Thanks G and A. Yes, fair point but really no traffic.

      Hi Cath, thanks for stopping by. We are planning a very quick trip in October. It seems very busy as our local places to stay are fully booked. Any agriturismos that you'd recommend around Canelli? We've not explored your neck of the woods but we'd love to. Coffee sounds good. thanks jenny
