Sant'Angelo This Morning

Hello everyone. Strange things are afoot on the island of Ischia as I suspect they are in many other places across the world right now. Call it climate change or simply "the weather" (if you share Donald Trump's views), but it really doesn't feel like winter at the moment. Again it's been a warm day apart from the strong winds but to be sitting here with all the windows open on the 10th of January is a bit odd. Not only that, we've got all sorts of things blooming that shouldn't be yet like the Ginestra (a type of gorse) and the Bougainvilleas with their bright violet flowers. Anyway right now at 5:30pm it's 15° Celsius (59° Fahrenheit) and an ugly black cloud has just come into my view stage left, seemingly ready to unleash something quite nasty so time to take cover! A domani. Ciao :-)
