With one of the heaviest snowfalls for nearly 30 years I was anxious to see how Casa sul Monte was surviving ... and how might we cope once we're living up there next winter! No need to fear ... the journey was fantastic, trees and bushes laden with crisp white snow ... the roads all clear, the views breathtaking and the journey uneventful.
The cleared roads delivered me safely all the way to Casa sul Monte (... and back) and our little Smart Car, with obligatory winter thermal tyres, coped perfectly with the conditions.
Whatever temporary difficulties such winter weather may bring the sparkling beauty of the snow draped forest and softly blanketed Umbrian hills will more than compensate.
Unfortunately building work is suspended for a couple of days because of the below freezing temperatures, but I'm sure we will soon catch up on the programme. Meanwhile I was able to enjoy the deep downy silence only such a landscape can provide and reflect on the wonder of God's creation in all its seasons!
Sweet dreams little "House on the Hill", enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts!
Hopefully work resumes tomorrow ...
