Thanks for sharing your day with me. It looks quite interesting. Hope you're feeling better. Diane
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane- it was such fun taking the photos! Jane xx
Deletelinear introduction to your life-style! V interesting. I didn't understand the books photo - what work were you doing there? Sorting? Mending? Nice house, lovely stall in the market too. Mmmmm, spag bol, haven't had it for ages. You leeeerv tomatoes! Look forward to the next post!
ReplyDeleteHello Ruth, you spotted the excess of tomatoes! I bought a huge bowl of them from the market and we were all eating them like mad for a few days. As to my books photo- I was doing a bit of everything- feeding the leather ones, cleaning and tidying up the others, and pricing up with the tickets I use at Dairy House- pleasant, peaceful work. Anna at ' A Taste of Italy' gave me my favourite recipe. Jane xx
DeleteDear Jane, it all Looks wonderful and charming. Being in Italy, this is just what I miss: sweet, simple life, pretty old objects, with stories to tell. I miss my old things: my cups, my pine dresser, my white and blue polka dot table cloth, my roses, my garden!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jane, for sharing a slice of your life... for showing your sink, your curtains and some of the little things which make you happy.
They are all beautiful!
Lovely... Lovely post!
Hugs
Anna xx
Ps: Flying back in 4 weeks. Will come back to Italy in the new year!
DeleteXxx Anna xx
Dear Anna, I liked the thought of sharing a simple day with my blog friends. Of course not every day is so pleasant and peaceful but I wanted to remind myself what a good, happy life I have.
DeleteEnjoy the early Autumn in your beloved Italy, Hugs Jane xxx
ps- Did you see (from one of my replies to comments) that I use your spag bol recipe? x
DeleteYes, Jane... I did... I always read your posts carefully, as I love them! I'm glad you like my recipe, as it's authentic and a healthier way to make a bolognese!
DeleteI am actually really looking forward to coming back to England. Having spent some time here, I have come to realize that England is where I belong. I have memories of my life in Italy and of my mother, but now she's gone things are not the same.
It's still Summer here... no sign of any change in weather!
Speak to you soon, Jane!

Don't know how I missed reading you weren't well this summer - hope you are feeling better now, shingles are awful.
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you Carol, I did get knocked quite low.... but I've bounced back up! Jane xx
Deletehi,
ReplyDeletethanks for your kind comment, I look forward to meeting you at Vintage at the Village Hall. Please come up and say hi, I'll be the worried looking one!
kindest regards Elaine
Hello Elaine, Of course I'll come and say 'Hi'. I get nervous at fairs before my stand is all laid out, it seems such a daunting task at first! Jane xx
ReplyDeleteA bit late calling in here Jane but wanted to say how lovely your day is! Also I had to pause awhile to look at your books - I have collected Blackie books for the best part of thirty years....oh dearie me ....I am rather fond of old books....
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
