Tomorrow it will be 20 years since I moved to Italy. I had no particular  intention of staying so long. I was on a big adventure…….and what an amazing adventure it’s been.

Looking back over photos and even just glancing at a few reminds me of so many things that happened in that time.

Sometimes, with no disrespect to my former life, it’s like I woke up when I arrived in Pisticci.

And I didn’t waste my time, but took up as many opportunities as possible, continually surprising  myself as I went along.

I started another blog called , ” My life as a story” because I couldn’t quite believe I was living this life.

Now I’ve grown into myself I think.

It’s strange to be in Perth for this anniversary, but if I return to Italy in April seeing everything clearly again it will have been so worth it. Not forgetting spending some relaxed time with my family. And who knows if some of my work plans might not lead to some adventures in Scotland as well as Italy. 

Today I went for another photo walk. I love that it’s a flat walk! 

I might be painting some of these this week.

But this morning there was a lovely sunrise.

Then later on I painted the same scene on canvas using this as reference.

It’s been a lovely relaxing Sunday. And soon it’ll be vlog time.

Cheers🍷🍷
