How Two Travel Bloggers Met | Bagni di Lucca to Trinita

When I started writing My Sardinian Life I had no set goals in mind. I hadn’t planned that my little blog could bring sunshine to the many colourful pockets in our world. I didn’t expect the positive comments of encouragement. I didn’t really expect anyone to comment at all! These were just my thoughts and daily life in Sardinia, Italy who would be interested in that?

An Unseasonably Cold Spring Day | Sardinian Daily Life

Spring hasn’t really arrived in Sardinia, yet. We were teased in March with cloudless skies and delightfully warm sun but that soon changed when April moved in with her bleak rain filled sky.

Even on cloudy, rainy, windy rather rotten days I still need to get out and breathe the fresh spring-ish air. Join me on a photographic hike through the windy valleys in Northern Sardinia.

Spectacularly blue spring skies

wisps of white that float on by.

It’s a slow start to spring this year in Sardinia. Rather cold and windy too. This time last year we were basking on the beach, this year, I’m wrapped up in two sweaters, a scarf and furry slippers!

Here’s hoping the heat breaks on though, soon.

How is spring shaping up in your neck of the woods?
