Toes in the water

Close, overcast. Threatening rain.

Today we paddled a bit in the ebb and flow of Cannobio life, for the first time in what seems like aeons (if you've no reason to descend from the heights, why do it?).

We find Cannobiese society very much as usual. A new baby to be cooed over here, a professional nanny regretting the imminent loss of her charge to the kindergarten with the new term, a mama hoping the end of the holidays will come very soon, all the children grown at least an inch.

Holiday stories at the pasticceria, village gossip at the ferramenta, fresh ideas at the municipio and news at the door of the chiesa. But not too much at once. Nice to re-acclimatise sloooooowly!
