ただいま~!


I'm back home! ^^

As I already mentioned, I spent 5 days in Tuscany with my mum and we just got home from our journey.
We were guests in our dear friends' house and everything has been delightful.
Our acquaintances there are the most amiable and good-humoured one can desire and I enjoyed our staying a lot.


The place where our friends live in this season is a beautiful, rural, perfectly comfortable, old mansion surrounded by the most charming Tuscany's countryside. Even if it was not my first visit there, I couldn't help but being really impressed by the beauty of such natural enviroment. The sight of the plants such as the olive tree, apricot tree, plums and a lot of different flowers as well as the the colours of the landscape and the curving form of the hills all around gave us the most pleasing and relaxing sensations. The countryside is to be sure the most delightful of all natural enviroment to me.


From the mansion the view is amazing; we were able to see the town of S. Gimignano on the opposite hill, where we took some walks together. It is a fascinating place that I had the pleasure of visiting since I was little.
San Gimignano is a walled medieval town in the province of Siena famous mainly for its beautiful architecture and its towers that can be seen even from a long distance and which has become its symbol.


Thanks to our dear friends our staying has been lovely and we felt perfectly at ease. My mum spent most of the time sunbathing and swimming, enjoying the good company and the nice climate. I read a lot when I wasn't engaged in some conversation or walk around the place or the town and I almost finished Northanger Abbey. It's really good and I think the film they made based on the book is really well-done. I will certainly watch it again soon. (Forgive me if the language in this post is a little strange, I'm afraid I've been influenced by the book)

I should start studying... but it won't be easy to find concentration and I'm sure everything will end up like this (<--click to read the comic).


またね! (´▽`)/~~ バイバイ Bye, bye..
