Ronan has been busy during the last two months creating a courtyard–just in time for the end of summer :D.
We were having some friends over for dinner on Saturday and needed some extra chairs. So I pulled out the old chairs that were left in the house when we bought it, gave them a wash, a light sanding and painted them with paint that looks more like wood stain but worked out well.
I added new seats I had bought online (a set of 6 for €49) and the chairs were ready just in time for dinner al fresco with friends that evening!
Total spend: €70

Before and After:
Thank You for sharing my dream that you are living with me. I am a huge fan of Italy and have been for many years. We are fortunate to be able to travel there often as a retiree of a major international Airline. This is how I became hooked and now that you are living it for me I can enjoy it all over again. Since at my age (long past 21) it is not feasible for me to be able to fulfill this dream of mine and I live it vicariously through you. I am getting many laughs over the situations you manage to get into and can envision this happening to me. I envy you with every fiber of my being and appreciate you sharing with me. Cheers Linda Dionisio
I’m so lucky to have people like you on the journey with me! When things don’t go as planned it gives me comfort to know I will be able to turn it into a chapter in a book that will make readers laugh! xxx
I just finished your first book and was excited to find there were 4 more!! Your adventures make my heart warm and I have really enjoyed your journey. I look forward to continuing your adventure with you, as I follow along.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the series! xxx
We have just finished listening to book 1 as we drive north to Holland. Your writing is like my life. We bought the Castello di Panicale and much to our disbelief, our castle too was ransacked. Sadly, all the furnishings had been sold before we returned to Italy from the US. Your first book is so close to home. I applaud your writing! Thank you for the laughs. We can’t wait to listen to the rest of them. Please put book 5 on audiobooks. The long drives are made that much more fun while listening to another who is going through the same problems we did/are.
