   I love seeing the videos and hope you continue to show them. I dream of going to Italy someday. I told my children I don’t want to have my ashes taken there when I die…I want to go while I am alive. 🙂

     Mary that is so true, my brother Bradley never left Australia and he died very suddenly at 50 from a heart attack so yes his ashes are coming with us and I plan to sprinkle him at Monza. Be sure to go while you can enjoy it all and don’t forget to come and visit us xxx
     love lisa

   Oh That is so amazing…a little abandoned house in such a gorgeous loaction…wonder who used to own it? Carina is so gorgeous in the video – those leaves look like so much fun.

   No wonder you love Italy so much – there is so much character to every building, and going for walks on those tracks would be so much fun.

   Cheers
   Lisa

     Hi Carla,
     Incredible isn’t it, almost lost in the forest. I’d love to find the history of the place. There were others that we only found when the leaves fell in Autumn, they popped up like mushrooms. One had a complete sleigh, old shoes, wine bottles wrapped in cord, as if the entire population just walked out and left everything. These are the places that fascinate me, the ones I never saw as a tourist.

     I made sure both our kids had a camera from an early age, we take the camera’s to school and give them to the other kids to use. I always suggest it to parents of kids with special needs, one of my friends little boys has limited speech at seven and I have coaxed him to use the camera. Luca has such a unique way of seeing detail that everyone else misses and Carina takes self portraits. I took them to see the Henri Cartier Bresson exhibition and Carina walked around with the tour and pointed out a monkey in one of the images that nobody else had noticed (even the tour guide) which totally changed the meaning of the image. Kids and art should just go together, we adults just need to unlearn what we know. Sorry it’s a bit of a passion of mine.

     I always love your posts and photos, so great to chat,
     ciao Lisa

   I love watching videos on blogs! What a beautiful place, it reminds me of home back in the UK, it’s nothing like the Amalfi Coast!

     I love them as well Nicki, it’s a little peep into someone else’s life. I lived in West Sussex in my 20’s for a few years with my Aunt and Uncle. I had never seen the seasons change so dramatically before that. I especially loved the gardens and the woods around the house that were just a carpet of bluebells. Certainly nothing like the Amalfi coast that’s for sure!
     ciao for now
     Lisa
