Today we had a very slow start to the day, a late breakfast and then caught the bus to Siena for the local produce market. Saw some amazing offerings of spit roasted pig and fresh fish along with fresh vegies and bread in every shape imaginable. The tomatoes here have amazing flavour. Also all the usual clothes, shoes and kitchenware. The new season's colour is green, not quite bottle green but close, more window-shutter green. Managed to resist all but one blouse and then had to buy matching glass jewellery and handbag in the shopping centre! Not such a bargain after all. We found just the bird book we have been looking for today so now we can start identifying all the ones we’ve been seeing around La Grotta. At last I have configured my phone for internet and MMS and Eric has found the mix he needs for Porccini risotto so a good day. The kitchen smells divinely of rosemary on our return. We take a walk across the farm identifying birds.
