We are stamped, sealed, and officially here
After another trip to the questura (police station), and two more sets of fingerprints, we received our official “papers” (actually something that resembles a fancy credit card that sparkles). We have finally been granted permission to stay. What a relief!
The weather, meanwhile, has been lousy: cold and windy and grey. We’ve been waiting for some real snow, which did finally come this week – outside of Foligno. In town it was never much more than a dusting. Even so they closed the schools for two days. Today we headed up into the hills and had a beautiful cross-country ski adventure in pristine and deep fluffy powder.
I’ve discovered some new materials with which to work, and in the cold grey days of winter have been getting a fair amount done in my studio. There’s a new page where I’ve posted some of the recent work you can find it by clicking here
