I am so glad I came to check my blog, only to find a few wonderful comments!<br /><br />I don't know why I was left on that rock... maybe he didn't think I would be scared... I don't know, really...<br /><br />I was blessed with wonderful parents, who loved each other. They shared everything and taught us a lot about life and love. Not one day passes when they are not mentioned. They are certainly still alive.<br /><br />It makes me happy to realize that my childhood memories are actually read and appreciated. Thank you so much!<br /><br />Look out for my next post.

I'm hoping to come back next month to spend some time at my house. <br /><br />So hot here, you wouldn't believe it! Though I think we might get some rain, soon, today, as the sky is turning grey. It would be welcome, believe me!<br /><br />Got some lovely plants and a grapevine... plants grow so quick and so fast here!<br /><br />Will be posting again, by the end of the week.

I have not even had time to look at blogs, as we are so busy, with this new house in Italy, which is taking so much time and energy!

That is a delicious dish, so tasty and summery.<br />I too love the sea. My parents tell of how, on my first visit, when I was about two, I tottered down the beach and just kept going- right into the water and was perfectly happy, so I think I must have always felt at home there.

Usually I do them with coriander seeds, fresh coriander and lemon! Now that the weather is hot - that is what I ought to cook! Thanks for the idea! Today I went to the cinema with my son and watched "La grande bellezza" - a wonderful movie a bit like a Fellini - chaotic but with magic pictures and hearing the language and seeing those beautiful people was great and very inspiring! Unfortunately no long holidays for me in Italy this year but maybe a short trip to northern Italy... just a two hours train ride from Berne!
