Saturday afternoon coffee and cake in the rain

Pre-theatre cake, because any time is good for cake 😉

Throwback Thursdays to a day in Venice

Once upon an autumn day in Montevecchia

Lavagna in Liguria, popular for surfing and just a pretty place to be

Seafront, Chiavari, along the Ligurian coast

Sestri Levante, one of Liguria’s loveliest spots

In Marchesi yesterday. Enough said.

Lavagna with its port, just after Chiavari along the stretch that goes east from Genoa on the Ligurian coast

“I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave's a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that's what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it.” ― Joan Didion

The last sun. Even though we’re now officially into autumn, there were still people sunbathing on the beach in Sestri Levante today. Love this time of year, always feels like we’re squeezing out those last rays of warmth before the temperatures drop.

Some of the best food is often the simplest. Ligurian focaccia with prosciutto crudo, with a view of the sea just east of Sestri Levante. Future food memories are made of this 🌊
