I have now left Cavallano and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and enjoyed immersing myself in the Tuscan ambieance. Local food was great and the countryside beautiful.

Arrived in Cavallano

Arrived and all is good - weather is hot and sunny and the world is a fine place! Lewin (for those that know him) is in good form and looks fine. For those that dont he is my 80+ uncle.
The place I am staying is quirky to say the least !
I am in a local internet cafe doing this - so am unable to contribute to the photos.(updated)

More soon . . . . .

Petrol Crisis

It seems the hauliers of petrol from Shell have decided to take industrial action and in a selfish way I hope it does not affect me !

Preparations . . .

I am just about ready and have bought and tested various small bits of kit - my last purchase being a pair of audio-technica ANC3 headphones that are active noise-cancelling headphones because the noise can be unbearable on a motorbike and although I have some custom made ear plugs these have received a great review. I have tried these on a short run locally and I was very impressed and was surprised how well they work - especially without music - just on noise cancelling mode. I imagine they are great for air travel!
