Sunset #umbria #italy today

At the super modern frantoio today. This evening best meal of the year, bruschetta toasted in front of the fire liberally doused with my picquant fragrant exquisite 2025 extra virgin Umbrian olive oil, oh and of course a few glasses of Sagrantino #oliveoil #umbria #extravirginoliveoil #2025oliveoil

Sunset at home in Umbria this evening

Uva Fragola bianca 💚
My first homegrown grapes
And delicious they are too

A lens on poverty and the environment: Sebastiao Salgado is dead at age 81 The famed Brazilian photographer was praised for his work capturing marginalised populations, including mineworkers.

Sorry to read of the death of Sebastiao Salgado. I first saw his works at the GOMA in 2003 His images have stayed with me

If today’s Israeli announcement is not commitment to Genocide then what is? Asking for a friend

Commemoration of the 85th anniversary of the #katyn Massacre at the Katyn Museum in Warsaw 13 April 2025

Yesterday at the Katyn Museum in Warsaw was a very large emotional commemoration of the 85th anniversary

I remember being present at the inauguration and the perseverance it took those to realise the memorial

Dunque, la Costiera Amalfitana è stata rimossa dalla mia lista di visite.

Parallels of what happened to the 1952 Madden Report into the Katyn Massacre 🤔

They honestly don’t want one to send letters anymore. Here in Italy they are sealing up the post boxes, Denmark is rumoured to be stopping postal letter deliveries altogether.

The Marriage of the Virgin by Raphael, c 1504
From the collection of the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milano. A true masterpiece

What smokescreen is she blowing to hide what the real radical agenda is being enacted?

I think I’m in! Wish me a good voyage

Hmmm we’re getting above my pay grade here. But I’m reasonably certain sufficiently long ladders have yet to be invented, and the Greeks may well object. To be certain I suggest asking il Ministero dell’Interno Matteo Piantedosi - Italy’s Minister of the Interior

She is bonkers. We share land borders only with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, S Marino & Vatican City none of which have walls their entire length. Premier Meloni’s expensive migrant camps in Albania continue to remain empty awaiting European Court of Justice ruling.

Condoglianze 😢

In a world full of Elon Musk wannabes, be a Matt Damon.

Surprised it’s only a fifth. As an individual in Italy ordering food goodies from the uk used to be fun, now it’s nigh on impossible, even the smart stores manage to have only a tiny range in EU so I gave up trying

Yes at 500m Will admit defeat. There are still a few figs on one tree today but they are nowhere near ripe or edible. Bravo you guys!

We have green fig trees in the garden. Fresh plucked with yoghurt for breakfast or grilled with a cube of gorgonzola wrapped in pancetta, combined with ginger for a great jam, or simply popped in the mouth directly from the tree. Months of pleasure

€3,99 for 250g pack in Emisfero supermarket in Italy yesterday. It was on offer

Il centrosinistra vince in Emilia Romagna e Umbria: De Pascale e Proietti nuovi presidenti Meloni si complimenta con i due neo governatori al termine di una tornata elettorale caratterizzata dal crollo dell'affluenza alle urne: "Al di là delle differenze politiche, auspico una collaborazion...

Good changes for health, inclusivity, and the environment Todays votes in 2 regions in Italy changes much

Regional election results just in. Wins for the centre Left in both Emilia Romana and Umbria. The tide is turning

If you are a lover of beautifully played classical music with a quirky modern twist that is stupendously sung by the Polish countertenor then you must find tickets for “Beyond” Jakob Jozef Orlinsky

Arrived by train in Ravenna to hear Jakob Jozef Orlinski sing at the autumn festival. Sun, blue skies, amazing modern art (+more S Sebastiano’s) and a vibrant city with a lgbt cafe Tomorrow the mosaics. Feeling good to be in a happy place
