Carpe diem... that’s what I always try to do but sometimes it’s the day that seizes you. Our second week in Italy was spent at podere Fraggina, a farm that’s no longer a working farm but an agriturismo. In other words they are farming tourists there. ‘They’ are Inger and Massimo and I can assure the reader Fraggina is one of those places you’ll undoubtedly return to. It is situated just outside the ancient Etruscan town of Volterra on the edge of Le Baize, an impressive deeply eroded limestone ravine. So a good start of the day for a keen rough-stuff cyclist.
