Sending you some Tuscan sunshine ☀️

Hi lovely ones,

A quick post to send my love and thoughts to all of you that are struggling. I am fast approaching my 2-year mark so as always, will keep everything crossed for a clear scan at the end of next month 🤞🏻

In the meantime, I continue to try and enjoy all that I can and for now, it means celebrating my darling hubby’s birthday in beautiful Tuscany 🇮🇹 Today I tried cannoli for the first time & last week I got back on a horse (first time in nearly 20 years) & rode through the Chianti hills before being taught the master of pasta making by an Italian “nonna”, which then fed everyone that evening for dinner. Unbelievable experiences I do not take for granted.

I just wanted to share a good news post with you all - I hope you’re keeping cool in this hot weather and you’re being kind to yourselves.

Cheers to you all 🥂

Jemima xx

Lovely photo Jemima, I hope your holiday is as lovely as it looks and I hope hubby has a wonderful birthday and you are able to paint Tuscany well and truly red to celebrate appropriately. How lovely to have an Italian Nona show you how to make proper pasta, one of life’s wonderful experiences that you just can’t buy.

Cannoli’s are one of my mostest favouritest things, the best I’ve had we’re from a deli called Zabars in Manhattan but I imagine the ones in Italy will be the very best so may have to investigate a jolly holiday in 🇮🇹.

Good luck for your scan, I hope it’s exactly where you want it to be so you can have lots more lovely adventures to share with us.

Keep well lovely and have a safe journey home ❤️Xx Jane

Thanks lovely 😊it’s been a super fun packed trip so far with too much food and chianti (but so I care???) 🐷 life is for living...

The pasta making was fantastic...I can’t recommend it enough. It’s been non-stop but every day has been a mini adventure! Still a few days to go with plenty more planned including an evening concert in a beautiful Roman Amphitheatre 🎶

The cannoli were delicious...read about a place in Florence we’re going to try and visit for some more...freshly made (& filled) to order! Xx

Great photo, Jemima, you look very relaxed. What's in that glass?

Well done you for getting back on a horse and for the cookery classes, too. I do love Italian food. So good for us.

Good luck for a clear scan!

Sounds amazing Jemima, glad you are doing well and all the best for your scan. I too am still ok, had a weekend in Majorca, a week in Fuerteventura in April and going to the Amalfi coast with friends in September.

I too don’t take anything for granted, love spending time with the grandkids and living life, each day means so much,

Love to you,
