Italian Adventures

I've had a few Italian adventures over the past month, but I've been too busy/lazy to upload pictures, sorry! I'm going to start with my most recent adventure and work my way back.

This past weekend the bf's parents drove down to Italy from Lyon and I went with them. We didn't go straight to Turin because they had an appointment with a carpenter who was measuring for windows in their house in the mountains which is currently being renovated. So I had an hour to while away in Fenils. It's a tiny little village, just houses and a church kind of tiny. I've been there before, but never in such glorious weather, so I decided to snap some pics. I also got some in the car on the way to Fenils, the clouds were doing some crazy things and the drive through the Alps is just magical :)

Enjoy...

I love the little houses nestled into the mountainside.
(Probably going at about 170km an hour here)


Waiting by the side of the road. (Excuse the reflections in the car window)


Amazing sky.


Amazing views.


The snow melts, the river grows.


No shops, but there is a church.


Some awesome catches for the window shutters.

I hope you've enjoyed the tour of Fenils, I look forward to seeing you again on another tour in Italy.

Our House.

Well, our flat really. I thought I'd show you what I can see from home, because, well, I spend most of my time here :)

I spend a lot of time sitting on the doorstep, with ample cushioning under my bum, because it gets stuffy in the flat and although we have two windows, we don't get a lot of light inside. So I tend to spend my morning on the step reading with tea or coffee, and I spend my afternoon there reading (between bike rides and supermarket trips).

Here is what I can see from the doorstep.

My bici ♥


And to my left, some washing.

And here is the view from the balcony.

To the left we have the pasticceria which faces into the town square and is next door to the church. Here you can see the church clock tower, complete with bells. And, just incase the bells aren't loud enough, you have the speakers underneath too. Seriously, the bells are annoying. Really annoying.

This is what the flat looked like before I tidied up. (Yeah, I know, it's tiny and dated)

It's just a studio, but we have a fiar bit of space and all the provisions one could need :)

Here is the view to the left of the front windows.

This is the main road that runs thorugh the town square and beyond.

And here is the view to the right.

You can see some police hanging out in front of the town hall and behind them is the town square. This place is tiny!

I think one day I'll give you all a tour of Cameri. Don't worry it won't take long ;)
