Two chance encounters during one beautiful summer led New Zealander Allan Parker into a lifestyle that many of us can only dream about: he was offered a house-sit of a 300-year-old villa in Tuscany and he fell deeply, passionately in love with Nancy. This text is the story of these two loves.

Body shots in the farmhouse; arrival and discovery; a new world in the old; the vendemmia of Brunello; Nancy's first visit; a-hunting we will go; the pressing of the oil; at war with nature; passion and perfume; the Mezzadria; nature's palette - rainbow riches and sotto la nebia; festivals and fantasies; the terracotta capital of the world; the war comes to San Clemente' "the people you meet..."; the Italianisation of Nancy; foot scraping, foot baths and face packs; and so to be wed...; a feast of funghi; culture - reflections from a Petri Dish. Epilogue: Autumn reprise.
