There are mornings when you wake up in the sky and you wonder for the brightness and clarity: it seems that everyone wants to promise a great day.
On Sunday morning, after several days of gray and dull, that was the sky waiting for me outside the bedroom window, once opened the shutters.
And waited all other gasisti with their families met at the parking lot of Covolo, to admire the glow of the sun reflected from the Venice lagoon.
So we started together, led by Paola and Serafino, for a walk in the woods under the chestnut trees prodigal of beautiful chestnuts, finding the time to chat and deepen the knowledge, that time during the meetings never happened. Children, expertly led by Paola Babajaga, roamed in search of chestnuts and fungi.
Around noon arrival at the 'CASTEGNERO Madoneta goddess' and a packed lunch, exchanging recipes for delicious dishes, many of them self-produced, as usual gasista.
a full stomach at the time we left the farm school 'The Hive del Grappa' where Rita and her husband have welcomed the horde of children and adults eager to begin the tour, which began only after tasting a delicious herbal tea made from the herbs and strawberry grape vines on the farm.
A guided tour to discover the world of bees, expertly managed by the hosts, proved to be exciting for children but for adults too: who would have thought of petting bees that inhabit a comb?!?!
about later, ice cream with jam and honey, chestnut, chatting in the cozy courtyard of the farm.
What can I say more: if the ultimate goal of diesel and an occasion for socializing on Sunday, I had the impression that we are on track!
Man of the day: Serafino. Let's just say that without his leadership, mid-forties with a crowd you would be lost in the woods, and above all, we would not have ended the day with chestnuts and new wine. I propose to give him an honorary membership card!
Gasisti of the Day: Paula, Rita and her husband. Serafino with organizers of a wonderful day. Thank you!
