Quite often, people ask us why we haven't travelled around more from here. The problem is finding a time when it is not heartbreaking to leave lovely Capriglia-by-the-Sea. At the moment, we are awash in poppies. The olive trees have begun to bloom. The cherry tree is filled with cherries and the persimmon tree is loaded with baby persimmons. The birds have lost their minds with joy for it all.
