Ciao Italy! Pt Tre

8th August, thats our wedding anniversery and the whole reason we went on this nice little trip to Italy. Unfortunately the 8th was a Sunday and we found out nothing would be open, so we decided to go and have a nice picnic in the Tuscan country side.

We figured it would be easy to find a nice spot but it was a lot harder than we imagened. All the land is of course farm land or vineyards.... so that would be tresspassing. However as we were driving around Fee spotted a 'For sale' sign at an old farm house, so we parked up, grab our blanket and went for a picnic.


There it is, the drive way was very long... it took us about 10min to walk to the house.


I would say this is a cute old well, but after watching *'The Ring' we all know wells are not cute.


It was a very big farm house and you could see lots of work had been done to it over the years. I don't know how long it had been standing empty for.


A very rare pic of me in the sun.... I had factor 50 sunblock on (its made for goths) so don't worry I didn't get a tan.


Our little picnic, we had some nice bread, cheese, ham, olives and a small bottle of wine. Plus, it was all local...Yum!


Theses Mrs Groves looking pretty as always..... I had obviously told one of my very funny jokes at this point.


It wasn't fancy but we had a nice time.


We kindly asked a passing Grasshopper to take a nice pic of us.


After our yummy lunch we lazed around and enjoyed the peace and quite. Once our food had settled we went exploring to see what we could find.


Another rare picture of me..... this time smiling..... well kind of.


Fee skipping off into the sunset.


Seems local farmers still use the farm house but just for storage.


Inside was rather creepy so we stayed out.


We had a super cool day on our little adventure and our picnic really filled us up. So much so that this was our dinner:
