More Tuscan weekend delights



And it staarted with a Sagre del Fritto on Friday night- a sort of  hoe-down in a village close by when everyone gets together and cooks and eats- and then gets down to some dancing with the local band.  This was the village of one of Paolo's employees, and the  whole architecture studio - and family and friends- were invited to this great fry-up, where delicious food was enjoyed in great quantity. 

Below Paolo and daughter.

To try and mitigate some of these excesses, the Saturday was spent once more with my trekking pals, as we made another foray into the divine country around Siena- this time into what is called the Chianti Senese.
