A nice church from the 12th century and it is open if you want to visit. The downside is that no bus goes there so it's a long way to go

Imagine being there when the potatoes are picked up from the ground! It can't get fresher than that when you don't have your own potato country. Today I also bought carrots and beets. Even those unearthed before my eyes. I wish more people discover this way of buying vegetables and root vegetables during the harvest season.

Fin kyrka. Separat klocktorn som man kan kolla in. Vi bjöds på kaffe och tårta där i påskas.

A beautiful old cemetery with a stone wall around the church, ash grove with a nice pond with carp in and a newer part. Benches to sit on and good with parking.

Villa d'Este

The Villa d'Este is a 16th-century villa in Tivoli, near Rome, famous for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden and especially for its profusion of fountains: the extraordinary system contains fifty-one fountains and nymphaeums, 398 spouts, 364 water jets, 64 waterfalls, and 220 basins, fed by 875 meters of canals, channels and cascades, and all working entirely by the force of gravity, without pumps. It is now an Italian state museum, and is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Tivoli had been a popular summer residence since ancient Roman times due to its altitude, cooler temperatures and its proximity to the Villa Hadriana, the summer residence of the Emperor Hadrian I.

The Villa was commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este (1509-1572), second son of Alfonso I d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara and grandson of Pope Alexander VI, along with Lucrezia Borgia.
