January begins ...

New year, old weather - very low rainfall here, which is fine for us, but I think it's been a problem for the ski resorts here in the Appenines and farther north.  We had a little rain here last Tuesday, however, and that has given us a nice dusting of white on the mountains.  We've had our friend Lorraine here for a few days, and she's had some good weather - sunny, but very cold, down to -6°C last night.

Same old view ...
... and later
We visited the nearby village of Coreglia - seen here with the Appenines beyond
After walking round town, we needed a warming coffee - this is the view from the cafe

    I missed this blog when you put it up. So glad I found it now as it is a very special one. The picture of Coreglia with that sky and snowy hills is spectacular. Lovely to see Lorraine there with Barbara. Then also a beautifully focused pictuer of a black cap. Fantastic.
