title	The Flags of Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy - 28th August 2022
intro	We're off to Arezzo in Tuscany for the first time in a few years. This time, Isobel's found us a cool apartment at La Striscia Wine Resort, which is only a 15-minute-or-so walk from the edge of the old part of Arezzo, where all the interesting stuff is. After a bit of exploration, and lunch on the edge of the Piazza Grande, we're back at the apartment where there's a bit of noise coming from the nearby park. It turns out that it's one of several practice sessions for an up-coming festival, and as well as drums and trumpets, there's a lot of flag hurling. Oh, and the pond in the park is full of terrapins, which fascinate the boys for ages.
