So instead of my usual or not so usual ramblings here on WordPress, I’ve decided to show you around my town. The name is not important but it’s in Sardegna. The most beautiful place on the planet. Enjoy the following pics. Continue reading
While I should be writing my piece on ‘Asparagus Hunters,’ I’m well, just not. It’s there in my lazy head wanting to come out, needing to come out. But it’s just too lazy.

The crunch and the image in my mind turned my taste buds off and vowed to never eat or see this food again. One night when browsing the menu I was surprised to find Continue reading I believe everything happens for a reason and I think there are certain circumstances that happen in life that you just can’t avoid. The other day all I wanted was a little time on my own, time to relax, time to breathe, time to stare out into… Continue reading
Shopping (spesa) here is fun and at times 
difficult. I point and use hand gestures to help in receiving my fresh meat and bread. I like to hang around the dusty… Continue reading
