This week my sister and Brian and his partner Gareth come to Italy to stay and I show you all the wonderful things we ate and experienced in our garden, our home and the villages of Tuscany.

Every day I get so many emails and comments asking why you can’t locate the music I use or find it using Shazam. I purchase music licenses for almost all the music you hear in my videos. I buy them them from various royalty-free production music sites and most of the time they don’t list the performer because it’s music made only for film productions with an audio watermark throughout the entire track, unless you purchase the single-use license for $50-100 per track. I use a lot of opera so often I’ll reference the opera but I won’t be able to direct you to a recording of that specific performance that you could stream or buy on iTunes or Spotify. Hope that clears things up and thank you for appreciating quality music.
Please don't follow me on Facebook as that person is not me - they have stolen my identity for the past few years. You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

  • I love this channel. It's nice to have a pause and remember the beautiful side of being human. There is so much suffering, pain, and brokenness in the world right now. It can be hard to remember how we are all just so human, and how wonderful humanity can be too. Like the art of flag throwing, we are so creative and complex and diverse and it's wonderful. How lovely. I got to live in this area off and on over the course of several years and this brings back happy memories. God bless you and your family. Thanks for the beauty.

  • I absolutely loved this episode! As a fellow Australian with the same level of interest in Italy and food as yourself, I really think you should explore the idea of producing a hard copy cookbook. I have too many cookbooks (so my family tell me, but they love my cooking). I read them like novels, especially ones that tell a story. Keep up the fabulous work ♥️🍷🇲🇽

I had the biggest smile on my face watching the teenagers perform the flag throwing ceremony, and Brian’s excitement to joyful to watch and all the laughter was wonderful to hear. Kylie your meals and desserts are magnificent, the table setting beautiful. Guido is a very lucky man to have such a talented, beautiful wife and you with a handsome hardworking man, a handsome little boy and loving parents all around. Blessings to all of you. ❤❤❤❤❤

  • What a wonderful time you had with Brian and his Partner. It was so good to hear your laughter. We are in Vivo D'Orcia presently and are loving all the wildflowers, the blossoms, wild roses and poppies by the roadside. It is enchanting and never ceases to amaze us with its natural beauty all around this area. Of course, a mention of the food also needs to be made. Everywhere we choose to eat, it is a delight and everyone we encounter is kind and generous. The weather is so much nicer at this time of year, as opposed to the searing heat of the Summer. Even the torrential rain today was welcome for watering the land. We just love to be here.

Certainly a beautiful couple with a beautiful child. You are blessed with such caring parents who are willing to help you with your renovation of your home. Having good friends and good family makes life beautiful. Your outdoors is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Your outdoor-spaces are vibrate for social gatherings, lazy afternoons, etc. that was a wonderful flag show.

  • Again, such a beautiful video. I especially adored the way GianFranco "helped" you measure the flowerpot. It reminded me so much of my son, at about the same age, "helping" my husband nailing boards to build a deck. My husband started the nail and held the hammer while our son held onto Daddy's hand and hammered in the nails. After every nail (about 30) our son would shout,"Yay!!". Good memories, thank you for the wonderful glimpses of your life in Tuscany.
