Yesterday and today the famous Romanies, Manouches, Tziganes and Gitans pilgrimage to Saint Marie de La Mer to visit Santa Sara.

Some more photos from my trip last year:

Tato is crazy for Dany :)

I was in Rome again last week and I had a lovely Sunday walk and nap in this marvellous city park, Villa Pamphilj.

Frida Kahlo, The Little Deer, 1946

It makes me cry

Dramatic sunset taken from my family house in Capri.

There’s also a drama seagull flying through it.

Happy Easter bunnies!

Amó is the short form for “my love”: it is like to say (my) Ló(ve) I love you. Sweet

And finally my post about the city of Roma, which reversed is amor or rather love.

I’ve walked through Trastevere in and around.

This is the Tiburtina island seen from some trees: looks like time has stood still

This is Ponte Sisto, close to Piazza Trilussa. I always dream of travelling on rivers with a boat like this

The 50′s Cinema America in Trastevere

This is Santa Maria in Trastevere, “un pezzo de core de Roma bella”, as my Cicero referred

Hi Forest,

I just wanted to tell you that we love you very much and that we have missed you so much lately.

Lately I’ve been hunting for kids playing football on the street. It’s not an easy job: apparently they have all gone: even Italian kids don’t play football anymore on the streets. But one day roving through Rome I have found these two playing in an empty market square (click to enlarge):

Madonninas

I love these “edicole votive” and I always take photos of them when I encounter them on my way as they are one of the first form of street art. They are little wall shrines meant to protect a house or a street, a field or a particular dangerous crossroads. They are often built to fulfil an “ex-voto” or a vow.

These shrines comfort and support everyone, both the village inhabitants and the occasional passers-by.

Cable is back :)

In January I went again to Capri: here you see some lovely gardens’ shots I’ve taken on the way to Villa Jovis.

Pure surrealism:

there are even 2 Dwarfs riding an elephant in a howdah  ;)

I’m sick, sinusitis, horrible. A week stuck in bed.

I’m bored so I tell myself old Italian fairy tales about fairies…

Enjoy!

I am so sad. I have lost my usb camera cable and I cannot upload any new photo.

Nice music to forgive me:

In my tutorial I have shown you how to built a little solar panel system and now I can finally show you the final installation on the caravan’s roof:

I’ve made a wood structure for the panel, painted and inserted it in a esy-to-find satellite bracket found in www.bauhaus.info.

A strong cough forced me at home this weekend :( but today I could finally bake my favorite cake.

My best friend in the meantime prepared a super yummy macha tea ice cream.

Happy together

If you want to bake the Roberlina’s famous no butter carrot cake

you’ll need:

g 250  organic carrots

g 250 white sugar

g 250 almonds

6 eggs

6 spoons + 1 of flour

a small glass of rhum

little piece of butter for the pan

g 12 baking powder

Grate the carrots and mince the almonds.

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar then add the carrots, the almonds, the 6 spoons of flour, the rhum and mix all together.

Add the baking powder using a colander and mix powerfully.

Whisk the egg whites until stiff and gently add it to the main mixture using a wood spoon and looking at it with love.

Baste your cake pan (about 26 cm diameter) with a bit of butter and dust it with a spoon of flour. Shake out the surplus.

Pour the mixture in the pan and bake for 40 minutes at 200°C.#

Bon appétit :)

Sweet reminder ♥

Exactly what I was looking for:

In Berlin, in  the Haus der Kulturen der Welt from 17th until 21st of August will be experimented and taught a new sustainable “art of living”. People will see how it is possible to eat and cook differently, to live differently, they will discuss about their experiences and the will share their knowledge in different ways through music, dancing, movies, conferences and workshops.

It’s a chance to bring our concrete efforts together! :)

Check out the program!



Found this this morning in Görlitzer Park:

More Love Please!
