Christmas in Capua

It's Christmas morning in Capua. Through grey fluffy clouds I can see either the  bright white sunshine or vivid blue sky. I'm hanging out washing on the balcony. I'm greeted with birdsong and a somewhat chill blast of air.

After  almost 3 months  al forno this summer, who's complaining! And I'm only wearing a cardigan and its 730am in December. 'Yes. Ok. Don't rub it in' I hear you saying it already!

So moving on. This is the post you weren't going to get!  Things have been busy here this autumn and winter as you've probably guessed from the lack of blog posts. I missed the figs and I'll miss the figgy pudding but I've not missed the sweet oranges and manderinos ripening on the trees, the roasted artichokes(carciofi) ) and chestnuts ( castagne) being sold by the sides of the road and two job offers. Yes busy indeed!

And still am! I need to finish this post before everyone gets going. You've had the mini sherry trifle, the mini chocolate log so now you've got the mini Christmas blog!

So here's a flavour of Christmas in Capua  2017. And in my next post I'll sum up my first year in the land of the lemons! So meanwhile raising a glass of limoncello to you! Buon Natalie!
