Thank-you to the ragazzo who spent all of yesterday morning's meteorological perfection cutting back the vegetation on the sentiero that leads us up from the lakeside.
The first time this year.
We feared we had been forgotten by the Comune's maintenance department, and slowly, slowly like Sleeping Beauty in her castle we would be lost in a tangle of rambling roses and 24 varieties of long grass, habitat for three varieties of child-chomping snake.
Worse, that we would be spending our winter forcing our way, falcetto in hand, through rain- and snow-laden vegetation, emerging at kindergarten wet and shivering. With all the 'flu-related worries we have to look forward to when the autumn term begins, I'd like to keep pneumonia off the list.
Ha fatto bene. Grazie.
