The weather hasn’t been all that good the last few days so building was on hold for a while. But as the skies cleared up and the temperature raised again we were able to resume.
The footprint for the new bedroom with en suite bathroom has started to emerge. The entrance to this part of the house will be from the slatted doors that you see in the photo, that currently form double doors from the hall to the outside.
Equally encouraging, the ‘illegal building’ is also taking shape. What we see here are the cupboards and work surface also emerging from the newly plastered walls.
The really great thing about the upturn in the weather and the satisfactory progress is we were able to leave the guys to it and take a trip to Savelletri which is a really beautiful holiday resort and fishing port about 15km from Trullo Genista just beyond Fasano. My brother and his wife were visiting having made the most of the all too brief Exeter to Naples flight with Ryan Air – sadly only scheduled for one year.
We met them in Savelletri for lunch at a place we have visited a number of times called Taverna Di Umberto. It is a really relaxed place to spend a couple of hours offering really good food at really excellent value for money. The peppered mussels in particular are tremendous but frankly if you like seafood in general you won’t be disappointed here.
More to follow shortly….
