30/06/10 Left Edinburgh at 7am with a filthy hangover from sampling what must’ve been all of the local brews. The train journey to Manchester Airport passed quite quickly with the only activity being a man boarding at Preston insisting that […]

01/07/10 Slept very well and woke up to conversations I later learnt were with the city official sort of like a mayor or presidente. Got directions and a map to the Fresia Gardens and set off, wondering if the forecasts […]

01/07/10 continued So, installation complete, I get to check out the town and traverse up and down the main road and piazzas; along to Piazza Torino and back to Piazza Galimberti with some side street detours and finally decide a […]

03/07/10 continued Back in Cuneo I go back to the house and shower and change. I drink Campari and soda in little bottles with the Sardinians which is not as nice as it sounds (the drink) and it leaves an […]

04/07/10 In the morning, I pack my stuff up and wrap the olive oil and olive paste up well in clothes and meet the Sardinians in the living room who are ready to leave for their daytrip and we say […]
