Hello everybody =)

Giulietto

I met Giulia this morning and she is fine in our cold and damp British weather. I say 'she' as I expected to find a young Italian man but instead a 23yr old Italian nurse. She's a lovely girl and we chatted for quite some time during which I even tried an Italian coffee. We chatted about all things Renault 4 as well as how English pizzas are all wrong, our national dish of Spaghetti Bolognese is all wrong and how sharing a tiny home with other student nurses is all wrong. She's a lovely bubbly girl who we shall invite back one Sunday to try our Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding, which might come as a shock. I am inept at putting images anywhere as I took one or her against my red R4 so I may 'message her' the image and she can add it herself. Ciao, Paul.

Here we are

Leo!!! We are waiting for you on the 30th of April in Kent! Please, I need a lift...

I'd love it and I definitely need to reach the UK with my 4L, after the first attempt now that's a real challenge.
But the 30th of April is not the perfect time of the year to have two weeks free from work to do it...

Giulia! look what I found online ... do you remember the khitarro machine?

Hello again,
As we said some weeks ago, I've been back to my Country to join the Italian R4 group in the "Polentata in baita" event.
Here we meet like this:

And for those of you who would like to see some more, here is the Facebook page of the event https://www.facebook.com/events/1041960652599872/

I'll see you soon on the 30th of April in Kent!

the man who mixes polenta is me but I'm not so bald ...
this was a small gathering in the mountains of northern Italy, imagine what a national meeting!
you know what is polenta?
water, salt and flour corn cooked in a copper pot for 40 minutes. It was the main food for the poor people of northern Italy.
Today is a traditional food

the best part of polenta is what we eat together ...

man playing with toy cars is diego: friend and co - organizer of polentata

the Italian coffee

and this is a zizzona: a very large mozzarella (3 kg)

to be honest, these photos are older than two years, but the party is always the same (this year I had too much to do and I could not take any photographs ...)

Here over Adriatic sea we are much aware what polenta (or "pulenta") is.....
We usually eat it as side dish with brudet (brodetto)

Nice party you had.


Beside polenta i can see that you know what is good to eat.

Now i am hungry aldo it is still morning (coffee) time!

I am told that that Italian coffee maker, I don't know it's name, makes the best coffee although I've yet to try it.
