The Essence of Spring (everybody needs cuteness a The Essence  of Spring (everybody needs cuteness and warmth at times 🥰).

Enjoy the reading, have a sunny, warm spring  week-end!
(CAN’T WAIT TO SHOW YOU THESE TUSCAN FLOWERS IN PERSON 🤗)

“ That year, Winter decided not to give up his place to the Primavera. He wanted to stay on Earth at any cost, forever. 

To do this, he called one of his helpers, the Frost. “Frost,” he told him, “when Spring tries to get out of the door of his house, cover it with ice and snow. Frost obeyed, and Spring, who was terribly afraid of ice, was trapped in the house.

The animals of the wood, hungry and cold, gathered to decide what to do. "I'll go ask the Sun for help," said the swallow. "He can melt the ice and free the Spring". 

The brave swallow set out on his mission and reached the sun above the clouds. 
“I would love to help you, but I can't” the Sun said. 
“only the Spring, with its powers, can make me warm the Earth”.

The swallow dived into flight and reached the house of the Spring.

It was covered in ice. 🧊🧊🧊
He dropped the seeds🌱🌱🌱, just as the Sun had said, then returned to his nest.

After a few days, the animals went to check what had happened. 

From the seeds had blossomed beautiful yellow flowers 🌻 🌸, which had buried their roots in the ice 🧊 breaking it. 

Thanks to them, Spring was able to leave the house and ordered the Sun ☀️ to warm the Earth. 

It was the beginning of the warm season; it was finally Spring!

Since  that day, every year, primroses (those brave little yellow flowers were called as such) bloom at the end of winter, to announce the arrival of the Spring.”
(From an Ancient, Folk novel)

MONTERIGGIONI! #minteriggioniditorrisicorona Fro MONTERIGGIONI!
#minteriggioniditorrisicorona 

From the top of a gentle hill near #Siena, this splendid medieval village transports you into the distant past.
.
.
One of the oldest, most memorable and recognizable villages in all of Italy, it seems that it has been inhabited since the eighth century BC. A true mirage for those who want to dive into the Middle Ages, the town is even mentioned by the Supreme Poet Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy: Inferno, Canto XXXI.
.
.The  castle, almost untouched by time, the church, the square walls, and the small specialty shops are just asking for photos! 💯🇮🇹❤️
.
.
The charming ❤️ walled  village of #Monteriggioni ancient medieval outpost founded to protect the Republic of #Siena 🇮🇹 is surrounded by age-old olive groves and vineyards.
.
. 
On our Tuscany Wine Lovers bike tour,  once you enter within the town walls lead by Elena&Piero you’ll feel it’s definitely time for your unique wine experience with lunch. 
.
.
Pairing local organic products with Tuscan wines in the cantina of our favorite the local organic producer, you will experience the savory goodness of the area.
. 
.

Any better way to discovery hidden corners of Tuscany whilst learning about local wines other than by biking?

Wednesday, April 7., 2021 : today is the Internati Wednesday, April 7., 2021 :
today is the International World Health day!

In 1948 the first World Health Assembly decided to establish a dedicated health day around the world. 

Therefore since 1950, the 
World Health Day 
has been celebrated on the 7th of April.

We believe that never as in these past times all of us  have realized the vital importance of being healthy.

According to recent studies looks like cycling reduces the risk of mortality by 16%. 
With the increase in aerobic activity, the production of endorphins also increases enhancing its natural analgesic and slightly euphoric action.

Frankly on the base of our personal daily experience we can’t say anything other than 💯 agree!! 
And it’s totally unbiased feedback about the thousand benefits of biking, especially when in #Tuscany! 

We can’t wait to hear your thoughts: join us this Summer to leave your unbiased opinion 😉😊👍🚴🚴🚴
