Tenth in Tuscany

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary at the end of June, and last week we got to spend a few days in Tuscany by ourselves, courtesy of my parents watching the girls and friends letting us use their flat in Florence --THANKS!

In Tuscany a lot of people hang their clothes to dry along the side of their houses.
