For A Competition I have been asked  to blog about what really inspires me about Tuscany.

I have to say after the dismal summer that mother nature has once gain decided to bestow upon us her in the UK I would have to say it would be the colour and warmth that really inspires me when I think of Tuscany right now.

After waking up day after day to the bleak greyness of what has been the Yorkshire summertime. How I crave looking out of a window on Tuscan a morning. To see the rising sun warm the rich natural colours as it illuminates the Mediterranean earth, sky, buildings and trees with shades of brown, red, orange, yellow, olive green and deep blue.

Tuscan colours tend to be rich and natural, invoking Mediterranean warmth and hospitality. Every coloured tiled roof with the naturally textured walls that support it spark the imagination. Thoughts of 'Mamas' wholesome home cooked food, locally sauced olive oil, wine.

Passionate Italian conversation taking place as the family sit to eat Al Fresco in a wonderful, well tendered garden filled with vibrant floral arrangements, Grecian style urns, terracotta pottery overflowing with fragrant green herbs. A rustic stone path of the natural colour, leading to a vegetable garden filled with ripe tomatoes of bright red, abundant garden greens, and trees laden with fruit of every colour in the rainbow.

All against the backdrop of the tranquil blueness of the welcoming Mediterranean waters. The perfect way to cool down after a day enjoying the warmth and colour of Tuscany.
