Reasons to love

Reasons to love Molise

1. Blue Skies

More than three hundred days a year, skies of blue hangover Molise. A blue that is drawn in picture books. Image result for blue skies

Sometimes, a few wisps of clouds drift across the carpet of blueness, whilst on other days small clumps of cotton wool float gently over in a breeze. Image result for blue skies

Occasionally one awakes to grey skies, when rain is in the air, or when snow drifts down from the mountains,

But most of the time it's blue skies every day.Image result for blue skies

2. The Mountains

Molise is fringed with mountains, now snow-capped as winter approaches.

From my house, I can see the Matese mountains, now iced with snow on one side, and the glistening Adriatic sea on the other, sheer bliss every day............


3. The Sea

The azure waters of the Adriatic lap on sandy shores, creating gentle waves.

 Beachfront bars are scattered along the coast in the summer, with brightly striped umbrellas marching in rows across the beach.

Termoli' a small coastal city sits proudly on the edge of the sea, it's castle proudly guarding it for centuries.

6. Red, Red Wine

Echoing the words of Bob Marley, red, red wine which here in Molise comes from the Tintillia grape. It is truly scrumptious.
