January in Beautiful Tuscany
January in Beautiful Tuscany
Welcome and Benvenuti to all my Lovely Followers around the World,
It’s a beautiful sunny Saturday morning here on the edge of the Chianti Hills in our little bit of Tuscany. And, I am inspired to write just for the joy of sharing my thoughts with you at last. Yes, I know it’s been a while since my last blog and I am sorry about that. I have no excuses other than being engrossed in my day job…

Ordering Gifts On-line in time for Christmas, My books, The EU and deliveries and Wine and Oil in Beautiful Tuscany.
Ordering Gifts On-line in time for Christmas, My books, The EU and deliveries and Wine and Oil in Beautiful Tuscany.
Welcome & Benvenuti to all my Lovely followers around the World,
Now, its always been my policy to get my Christmas List sorted the first week in November. This is important because deliveries here in Tuscany can be very unreliable particularly if using the Post Office. Deliveries have often arrived a month or more after having been posted outside the EU & regularly comes with an an import tax…

La Vendemmia and the countryside, Porcini & Figs, La Calambur and Rita (Carla) Monticelli in Beautiful Tuscany.
Welcome and Benvenuti to All my Lovely Followers around the World,
It’s been a very busy week here on the edge of Chianti in our little bit of beautiful Tuscany. We are surrounded by vineyards and it is the middle of La Vendemmia (Grape Harvest) when all the existing squeaky tractors and clanging trailers are hurtling along the track like there’s no tomorrow. To add to the traffic chaos, the…

The End of August, Red Onion Festa, Zucchini Flowers, Pecorino and the Garden in Beautiful Tuscany.
The End of August, Red Onion Festa, Zucchini Flowers, Pecorino and the Garden in Beautiful Tuscany.
As August draws to a close, that feeling of being in in limbo will start to fade. Hot, humid, closed shops and restaurants, Italians away at the coast or up in the mountains, little or no rain and nobody around who you really would like to talk to. So effectively we take a step back too, taking a sort of holiday as we stay at home, but mostly wanting to do anything that leaves a sense of…

Back to Blogging in Beautiful Tuscany
Back to Blogging in Beautiful Tuscany
Welcome and Benvenuti to all my Lovely Followers around the World,
Sunday – Are you still out there? I do hope so, it’s been a while since I last wrote to you. A year’s recovery from a fall is no joking matter, but I was pretty legless for a while!
But I am so happy to be inspired to write again and to send you updates from our lovely little bit of Chianti. We have just come back from morning…

The View from Here, A Family Lunch, Italian Mens’ Fashion, Andrea at Jam Caffe and the Old Oak Tree in Beautiful Tuscany.
OK, so let’s get away from all the bad news and concentrate on happy things. The first bit of happiness is found every morning in the changing view from our old former monastery farmhouse, down across the valleys and across to Certaldo. It is the time of year for mist filled valleys and winter colours. This picture was taken a few days ago by our lovely next door neighbour Paola at La Poggiolaia,…

Pitti Uomo, Handbags, Addio Lovely Ash Tree, The Brick Floor, Zuppa di Ribolita and The Rules in Beautiful Tuscany.
Welcome and Benvenuti to all my Lovely Followers around The World,
Well, it’s a beautiful sunny Saturday morning but very cold. Hopefully, if we sit in the right spot in the garden, the sun will be hot enough to enjoy an aperitivo before lunch and we are well stocked with local wines, so no worries there. Meanwhile, I’m getting on with writing to you.
January is an interesting month for events.…

A Festive Round-up, Il Pirata Ristorante, Rugby and Rock Musica in Beautiful Tuscany.
Welcome and Benvenuti to all my Lovely followers around The World
Well, where to start? Here in Beautiful Tuscany the dreaded lurgy played a big part in shaping Christmas and New Year Celebrations. ‘You’re not alone’ I hear you say. Yes, I know this to be true, having friends and family all over the world who have had to make the best of things. Like many self-employed people, I found it…

Family and Friends, Frocks and Handbags, Log fires and Warming the Wine in Beautiful Tuscany.
Welcome and Benvenuti to all my Lovely Followers around the World,
After this morning’s fill of SKY and BBC world news, I realise that the only way to treat all this bad news is to concentrate on all the good things in life. Here in our little bit of Tuscany on the edge of the Chianti Hills, the countryside is bathed in morning sunshine. It’s cold and frosty in the shade, but wrap up warm and…

Certaldo Red Onion Soup, Panettone, Christmas Markets and The Rock Chick Band in Beautiful Tuscany.
Welcome and Benvenuti to all my Lovely Followers around the World,
Here in our little bit of Tuscany on the edge of Chianti it is 10 degrees centigrade, sunny but with a cold wind. However, we are expecting colder weather to reach us shortly, thus my man is currently putting covers on the vulnerable plants and has brought the lemon tree inside.
Meanwhile, we have turned our thoughts to nice hot…

An Emotional Recovery, C’era una Volta Restaurant, More rugby, Books for Christmas and Oranges in Beautiful Tuscany.
Welcome and Benvenuti to all my Lovely followers around the World,
I can’t begin to tell you what an emotional week it has been for me. Three and a half months recovering from a broken wrist and knee may seem nothing in this world of pandemics and climate change, but I was brought to tears when I finally walked back into my local restaurant on Thursday! The smell of the damp fresh air as I…

Autumn, Wine Tastings, Fashion and Rugby in Beautiful Tuscany.
Welcome and Benveuti to all my Lovely Followers around the World,
‘The Autumn Leaves, Drift by my Window, The Autumn Leaves, of Red and Gold’. This wonderful timeless song has always been one of my favourites. And, so appropriate for right now. Overnight storms and heavy rain have battered the trees and vineyards surrounding us, and any leaves that were still hanging on are now on the ground or…

Autumn Colours, All Saint's Day, Olives and Eating Out in Beautiful Tuscany
Autumn Colours, All Saint’s Day, Olives and Eating Out in Beautiful Tuscany
Yes, I’m back after three months of recovery from a nasty fall, which broke my right wrist (yes I’m right-handed) and shattered my left knee. Thank heavens for living in a beautiful place with the man I love and the promise of an imminent return to going out into the glorious Tuscan countryside and back to C’era Una Volta Ristorante in Luccardo.
From my window I have watched the changing colours…

July, Italians do it Better, Top 5 Fashion Brands, Etro, The Florentine and Music in Beautiful Tuscany.
Benvenuti & Welcome to all my Lovely Followers around the World,
We are currently enjoying a cooler few days and a little rain here, but that won’t last. July and August are subject to climate change like the rest of the world, but you can guarantee that these months will be generally hot, humid and dry. As I write this I can feel the air heating up. The countryside is typically July; fields…

A Fabulous Birthday Week, Presents Made in Italy and Wall to Wall Sunshine in Beautiful Tuscany.
Welcome and Benvenuti to all my Lovely Followers around the World,
What a fabulous birthday week. Surrounded by family, gorgeous presents, sunshine and a delicious supper at Osteria Di Casa Chianti.
One of the most delightful things about living here in Tuscany is that one can buy Italian Made products a short drive away. No need to trawl the internet, we are surrounded by local Artisans. Now…

Not Only Pasta, The June Landscape, a New Shrubbery, Tourists and New Rules in Beautiful Tuscany.
Welcome and Benvenuti to all my Lovely Followers around the World,
For many who come to Tuscany for the first time, they will thinking pasta and maybe Pizza. Whilst these are popular dishes, our local restaurants serve up a lot more than that and are known for their wood fire grills for both meat and veggie eaters. I was surprised to find Porcini on the menu last week as these are not currently…

Open to Tourists, Italian Food Itinery, The Tuscan Countryside and Italian HandBags in Beautiful Tuscany.
Welcome and Benvenuti to all my Lovely Followers around The World,
Yes, Italy is well and truly open to Tourists, subject to some border restrictions of course. The rules are a little confusing and are changing all the time. However, the hospitality sector is desperate for the return of tourists and in our own little bit of Tuscany we are seeing groups of walkers and visiting camper vans going…
