Italian Weddings, Saracens and Swimming Pools, Arezzo, Tuscany - 12th June 2013

More continuing ramblings from a week in Italy as we happen upon an Italian wedding, do a bit of arctic swimming in the pool and witness a practice for a forthcoming festival to do with Saracens. This involves lots of lound drumming and trumpet playing. Finally, we rediscover the joys of Limoncello.
