The Experience

I have just bought a little house with land, not far from the coast in southern Tuscany. It's the fulfilment of a long-term dream. Living here with my dog. I am working no more than 20 hours a week online and spending the rest of the time dedicated to renovating the house and developing the garden, where I intend to plant fruit trees and create a veggie patch and herb garden. I'm originally from UK but been in Italy over 30 years.
