Yesterday we went to Gubbio for the funicular. It's a unique one that is not fully enclosed, more like a cage. Quite terrifying when travelling at speed. At the top was a minor Basillica dedicated to San Urbaldo. The saint himself is mummified and can be appreciated. This is a quick sketch of the courtyard with brick archways.
There was a terrific storm this morning and when it cleared the mist lifting off the valley was quite spectacular so I had to attempt a painting. Today I'm laundering having decided on a quiet day at the villa. The Laus have rushed off to see Orvieto. Ordinarily I might have gone but it's probably just another hill side town and I would be better off painting here. Roger is reading on the hammock and Sam enjoying a quiet day away from cousins.
