Peacocks and the Perseid meteor shower

Just realised after putting the kids to bed that I forgot the driving surprise that we had.
Peacocks!  It was odd seeing them but amazing as well!  Anyway the children are in bed after being allowed to stay up for the Perseid meteor shower.  Peace at last!

Borgomela, Tavernacce

Today we went to the market in Umbertide.  We had aimed to do so last week but arrived too late to experience it fully.
This time after my wife dragged me out of bed we all went into town and saw what it had to offer.  My Mother-in-law has given the kids some spending money which they put to use there.  After that it was a trip back to Santa Chiara for some time in the pool and a few hours later a trip to Perugia to see if we could find some Mustard Essence.
We had no luck finding this but as you can see the drive had some spectacular views.  Afterwards it was a trip to Tavernacce to eat at a restaurant that has been recommended here and it lived up to the billing.  Despite being down a residential road and being besides a railway track, we thought the place was amazing.  Warm service with good food, we may return this holiday.  Anyway we are now going to see if we can watch the Perseids Meteor shower!
