The Summer of Love

Am back from Italy and buoy that country rejuvenated me. Beautiful warm evenings spent under the moonlight sitting outside the village bar in carezzano to swimming in the sea of the liguria region admiring the hilly views around me to taking in the breath taking views from silvia's parents country house garden. The simple italian way of living reminded me of the best things in life. Eat, Swim and Love perfectly sums up my holiday.

Am leaving on jet plane...

There's something very solemn and beautiful about spending a Saturday on your own which is exactly what I did today. It was a day filled with mundane tasks - cooking, cleaning, shopping and washing - interspersed with some self reflection. The day was overshadowed by a feeling of content of where my heart is at at the moment. I finally feel at peace with the last couple of years of my amorous adventures. Am looking forward to Bella Italia this week and taking a break from crazy London life. However much I love my london life it does the have the ability to engulf my emotional brain to think that independent life is possible. This makes you forget that "Happiness is only real when shared - Christopher McCandless" A gentle reminder to the fact that the beauty of life lies in the power of relationships is what I need right now and a little holiday is the perfect antidote I need to do just that. Carezzano, here I come!
