Thank you for all your well wishes about my eyes. They're just about back to normal now, so let the painting begin! Here is our night at my mother-in-law's: home made pasta and lifelong friends. And bubbles. And my other new vintage cardigan (it's ok, I stopped at two, I haven't developed a problem) (yet) with sequins like soap bubbles.
You know what Sophia Loren said about pasta.
After dinner we went down to the garden.
And fed the chickens a rocket leaf. They weren't too impressed. I think they wanted pasta.
And then, after I posed in the deepening light and showed John just where the sun shines from, we talked about grumpy relatives here and in Italy, tutted over MKR and drank stove top coffee with home made biscottini.

I love Sophia Loren! What a wonderful post, your style is fantastic :)
Yum, very familiar with those pizzellas! Easy to make, and everyone loves them :)
Sushi : thanks!
b and e : thank you – a familiar vintage dress and new vintage cardi, kinda a summer staple these days! (don't tell anyone, I might be getting kinda bored with it) ;D
Anne Kathleen : isn't she wonderful! And thank you! x
Anonymous: what are pizzellas? You must tell me! :)
I love your dress! And I think chickens always want what they can't have - tut tut! Glad your eyes are getting better! Lara x
I am always in awe of your beautiful hair styles! Oh I love chickens! They look so friendly!

Is your aussie also italian? mine is half italian and his nana taught him some great recipies!
looks like a really nice afternoon and evening. :)
Oh Sophia! Such a babe.
Also, good call chickens. Who would pick rocket over pasta?
Pizzellas are those biscuits to the left of the tray (the waffle-looking ones). Are your in-laws from Abruzzo (Italy)?
mmm, yum! & your dress is so pretty :)
Simply love everything about this post it's like a summer italian dream!

Lovely post and that is a gorgeous cardigan. I can see why it encourages the threat of addiction! My chickens like to eat apples.
Oh, it looks like a dream to live there!
I have a cardigan just like that but I have never thought of the sequins being soap bubbles. That's just lovely! Thank you for your sweet comment on my snow post. :-) xx
The colour of the dress is perfect, apricot is one of my favourite colours, It reminds me so much of Summer holidays. :)
Your blog is lovely and your hair is absolutely amazing!
I really enjoy your photos, I am italian and your spaghetti looks very good :)
Hope the eyes are improving.
But your outfit is gorgeous, as always. I have a vintage cardigan with the same pearl button detail, love it so much.
Btw, any news on the hair colour? Whats going to be next? Think the silver colour from your last post looks amazeballs
You're so pretty!Love the detail of your cardi and the dress is a great color.I want my own chickens so badly,I'm sure they wanted the pasta more too.
I adore the fact that we are both IBM (ok, I'm taking a leap here and guessing that, like myself, you're not Italian - please forgive me if you are) - that is to say, Italian by marriage. My sweet Tony was born and raised in Italy, only leaving to find work elsewhere in Europe in his early 20s, and marrying him was my first true expose to life in an Italian family

Delicious! I love italian in-laws and relatives. Their food and culture is amazing!

Cute outfit and all of your pics are magic!
I love your style!
