Carmine quotes No. 3 : On staying fit

Minus one at 9am. Frosty and cloudy with a technicolor sunrise. The chickens are deeply disgruntled - what kind of a hotel is this anyway? Their water is frozen.

Signora Cesarina. Ninety-something, with, as Ezio says, the mind of a 20-year-old. Tiny and stooped. Bright-eyed as a blackbird. Still keeps her goat and her chickens, and a guinea pig free-range in the stable to keep away foxes. Still walks up to the woods to collect goat food and kindling. And wildflowers.

"If you walk, you'll keep walking...If you sit, you'll just sit."
