The secret garden

When we arrived home from our Cortona excursion, the weather had turned dreary and a storm blew in. When the rain stopped at sunset, a dense fog had set in and I went on a little walk around the town. Even the fog seems to suit Rapale; it takes on an ethereal storybook feel.

I happened upon this little gate

Which led to this little overgrown garden

Which is home to a mossy and mysterious stone bench

And these grapes - the garden's only sign of life these days.

You have to keep the gate closed though, to keep the boars out. They love grapes!
