I am happy to be back in Bagni di Lucca in lovely autumn. This afternoon I walked along the river in front of my apartment to the Villa Fiori park for a “Raduno dei pappagalli” …meeting of parrots.

The park has been lovely cleaned and looked after by a group of volunteers and it is a home for gnomes now.

This afternoon parrots were invited.

Australia was represented by a couple of sulphur crested cockatoos.

There were other parrots out for the afternoon.

There was a talk about parrots and a display by a shop with parrot accoutrements.

Of course there were refreshments.

It was a delightful afternoon which was well attended.

It is lovely to be back in Ponte a Serraglio.
