Driving in Tuscany is famous for a very good reason – it is beautiful. It’s full of history too of course, but I think what I loved most about it was how embedded the people seemed to be with their landscape. How well kept the vegetable gardens are, how neat the olive groves look. It is a landscape that speaks of care. It looks loved and valued.
We did quite a lot of driving, stopping in the small towns (each seemed to have it’s own character) and just meandering a bit aimlessly – taking photos. It was glorious and slow and interesting. Blue skies, stone buildings, narrow winding streets, flowerpots. Extraordinary art even in the smallest churches. Wonderful food. Who wouldn't love it?
