Brolly time in Barga

Yesterday the dense fog changed to rain, which is a bit better, as we can see the town and the valley again.  We went down to Barga for a coffee and some provisions - the town still busy despite the weather, but umbrellas out in force of course.  As we were drinking our coffee we were entertained by the  parade of brollies (panoply of parapluies?) at the market.

In the evening we got togged up again to go into town for a meal.  One our restaurateurs is off with family for two months to Tenerife to get some sun!  So this was our last chance for a while.

Good weather for the fruit and veg stall ... 
And just to prove Barbara was there ...
Brollies outside please ...
