The Gold Of Tuscany...

Thursday was our ‘big day’. Not only had we planned the furthest trip, but it was also our 27th Wedding Anniversary! Another leisurely start to the hottest day so far and progress was slow. Not that it mattered as we needed to take in the change in scenery as the verdant wooded hillsides merged into the picture postcard rolling hills of central Tuscany, complete with its field’s of sunflowers and strange small pointy fir trees. Our first stop was next to the brightest, most yellow, most golden field of sunflowers. Even on a dull day, you would have needed your sunglasses on! What an uplifting sight, even if we hadn’t reached our destination, this would have made our day.
