We’re busy sprucing up Trullo Solari for the new season.  Our first spring guests are arriving at the end of the month and we’re weeding, gardening and painting ready for everyone to enjoy their Puglia holiday.  We’re also putting the final touches to the new deck, installing the central mosaic and re-treating the wood.

To help us out this year we’re hosting a couple of great volunteers through the Workaway scheme.  In return for board and lodging Liesl and Amy give us five hours hard work a day.  They’re both Americans travelling through Italy.  It’s a great scheme and we’re looking forward to other volunteers coming later in the year; there’s always plenty to do.

Our biggest problem at the moment is the changeable spring weather.  Yesterday an unexpected shower washed half the paint off the wall and on to the patio.  But it’s sunny again this morning, and we’re off to put it back where it should be!  Roll on summer…
