Capri Cat

Roses from San Gimignano

More of the Brandy Rose

It's standing alone, in all its scented splendor, in a small dark green Asti Riccadonna bottle, which I am using as a bud vase.

My Brandy Rose

From my kitchen counter this morning.

It's me!

This was made for me by a very special friend from my forum on The Digital Scrapbook Place, known as Evergreen100. It's my new favorite thing!



Journalling reads:

About Leslie: Leslie likes nothing better than to live a quiet and simple life. She derives pleasure from her two lovely boys, her cats, her home and garden. She entertains us in the Granny thread with quirky stories of her daily activities, such as her icecream making hobby, and of the special little dishes in which she serves herself just a tiny portion each time, such as the life and times of her front porch garden with sagas of baby lemons and strawberries and more recently of her foray (with the help of her son Giancarlo) into the garden at large. I love her tales of her “blind” men, her cats’ antics, how she puts on a face for the Colesonline delivery. I love her *chortles* *sniggers* *snorts* and more. I know she is a great Mum, a dedicated declutterer, a fantastic blog keeper. I know she loves Italy, her laptop, books, ploppers, DVDs of her favourite TV series. Leslie has been a special cyber friend to me and I have had the good fortune of having met her in real life.. a very special pleasure!

My wishlist of roses

Dear Trixie

My view - rosellas

These rosellas have been coming daily since they noticed the seed bell I put out for the delightful little sparrows. The idea was for "cat TV" - but... the cats rarely tune in, I just watch it by myself.

Anyhow, the sparrows jump up and down underneath the gigantic crimson rosellas and wait impatiently for them to be gone.

The beach at Camogli

The Italian Riviera - Santa Margherita Ligure

I've stayed here three times now, right on the beach, overlooking the main street. Up on my third floor balcony, counting the ferraris as they roar past...

But this photo was taken as we walked out the front door, off to have that first delicious cappuccino of the day.

They had a photo shoot done at The Carillion, a bell tower on the lake.
