A glorious afternoon here at Bellaugello Gay Guest House in Umbria finds Edo one of my English Setters lying on the west lawn in the dappled shade cast by one of the great cherry trees

It has been another great balmy day, big fluffy clouds slowly wafting by and revealing acres of brilliant azure blue skies.  Indeed it has been a hot day, a pool day, a suntan day.  Here we have planned the garden to provide shady lawns, and of course lots of delicious fragrant lavender which is just beginning to come into bloom, a chance to escape the heat and doze…

And the bedding plants seen from the bathroom window of the Suite Degli Specchi are now beginning to overflow their pots and trail through the railings to the lower terrace below, colour fills the garden, roses are now budding anew for their second flowering

And after a lazy summer day what more could you want than to know the prosecco is on it’s way………

being spoilt, that’s Bellaugello….
