I had a similar photo thing going, with friends not necessarily couples, that I called ‘my collection’...surreptitiously taken photos of friends - sometimes just two or three, sometimes a bigger group - wearing nearly identical outfits. Proof of our need for tribalism in our world of forced individuality. And also often just hilarious!

AND!!! We are eagerly awaiting your return! ♥️♥️♥️ I hope the cozy love you will feel will help compensate for the lack of ... Italy.

Il dolce farniente. It's a whole S. Europe vibe, the ability to picnic at the drop of a hat and of course there is a bottle of wine that meets the moment.

We are still struggling with the hustle culture here, the flexes of conspicuous consumption.

I really enjoyed the last few posts, thanks for sharing

Fantastic post Belle. The hike sounds like an adventure you will never forget but oh boy does that beach look amazing! So funny about the matching couples. Tom and I both love the Life is Good brand and we often sport similar T-shirts and hats as we set off for walks. ;) I cannot believe your time is nearly up. I imagine that is as hard as moving there in the first place was. What a life changing experience you have all had.

Ooooooh I just can’t wait til you are back! I love to think about how much closer we’ve all grown to you through reading your wee snippets of Italian life. Now we must all go on a field trip together IRL!

Did you know there's a new Daniel Tiger song? It's called "Let's Just Fuck Time! Four Elements, Five Senses, Get Sensual!" You should check it out. It's the summer bop. CANT. WAIT. TO. HAVE. YOU. HOME!!!!
