Back to Boario
Trips to Boario seem to now be lodged firmly in the diary for Spring and Autumn. This was my third visit - good food, fine wine, decent weather, walks by the River Oglio and a spot of pampering too. I'll be back again (well, that's the plan) for all the above plus a fourth visit to the REGEN Centre.
Having first visited Boario by train last April, I now can't imagine getting there any other way.

Around Oxford
Having had a fix of warm Spring weather in northern Italy, it came as a bit of shock to be back in 'very' early Spring around Oxford - good for waterside and woodland walks (if you kept moving!) plus early orchids and bluebells.
