Last photos of December and best news of 2022

Yes, this is now. Here are two last photos of the past year taken with my camera and my phone, plus quite an astonishing piece of news. How are you in the new year? We had amore’s father over here in the wilderness of Tuscany, we ate well, there were zero noises from the outside

Last photos of September

Last month ended with the following four photos. I was thinking no drama for a change, alas, the final one says it all.
