Figs..

Yesterday during a walk a saw a fig tree....

a friend from last summer.

A beautiful friend came to visit us last summer ..

it stopped for a while then flew away...

Autunno in cantina.

Last sunday I went with friends to a nice place close to home.

It is a place where they have a vineyard and produce their own wine..that is a "cantina" in italian.

There was a special event: a concert by a "quintetto" from Cagliari (2 violins, 1 viola, 1 violoncello and 1 contrabbasso) that was really emotional and free food and wine!

We did enjoy ourselves!!!

Sardinia is a touristic place.

Many people come to visit..

sometimes they leave a message in the sand....

Have you ever done it? What did you write?

Hand made straw baskets.

..at the market..

Mamoiada and mamuthones.

Mamoiada is a small town in the centre of Sardinia,

I decided to go and visit it with friends

on a particular cold and rainy sunday.

The place is famous for the Mamuthones,

..and yes , if you are lucky enough to be there when they have

their show Do NOT MISS IT!!

It is a very fascinating mask with its own fascinating history,
