LEGGENDARIA - BOTTECCHIA CENTENARY amazing…

When I see this bike parked in the garden my heart skips a beat…

Not only do I love this bike with a passion
the owner is my sons age and here for a opera singing lesson.
So, I make my herbal tea and sit in the garden listening… the piano is is both mellow & agressive, quick & slow… I can hear the teachers prompts…
Oh what Wonderful tea break…
