The Peasant Is in the Field. And She’s Learning Italian (Again)
It’s been nearly a month since my mam passed, and instead of cleaning the fridge or alphabetising the herbs, I found myself dusting off a twenty-year-old Italian course with cheerful categories like Camping, Body, Clothes, and Car. Actual sentence: “The fat girl’s radiator is broken.” Grief does funny things. Apparently, mine wants me to master grammar and finally feel at home in the country I live in.
New Book and New Spot to Hang Out with Me!
If you have read my book ‘A Rosie Life In Italy’ you may remember that back in 2013, I was living in the cheapest house in Ireland with a colander for a roof, rats scrabbling above my bedroom ceiling, and not enough money to pay for my kids’ school bus fare. Life was, to put it bluntly, a bit of a shit show.
It’s Happening Again!
I’ve had lots of readers and writers ask me to do a Rosie Retreat in Italy in Autumn 2024. So here it is! Applications will close on the 30th May so apply now to join me for an experience of a lifetime in Tuscany Italy!
Rosie’s Writing and Relaxation Retreat Tuscany Italy 6th-11th October 2024
Join Me In Italy 2024!
I wasn’t going to run a retreat in 2024 as I wanted to take time out for myself but I am already missing the people that I would have met this year! So I have decided to run a women’s retreat in June. We will have morning writing sessions but these are optional so if you are not a writer you can still come along and enjoy the fun!
