March, Thursday 21st

lambretta season is officially ON.
as you can see i'm not an illustrator, but i like giving a visual form to my thoughts

happy, happy, happy spring everyone! 

{the ispiration for these scribbles come from this and this beautiful illustrations, thank you!}

campfire. March, Saturday 17th

the air is still chilly, but we're back outdoors.
we went to a place not far from where we had the fall picnic. i used to come here a lot with the Scouts years ago, cause it's a good spot for campfires.

we had a little picnic, and cooked on the firewood. i've missed the smell of the crackling fire's smoke! i've missed breaking the dry wood with the knees, and making the tip to green sticks. 
in the Scouts we called this direct-heating method trapper cooking, which i think is in the name of north americans explorers, but i'm not sure.

sausages give their best, but potatoes, onions and eggs, too are delicious cooked this way!
special thanks to the firewood for keeping us warm while we ate and played cards.

i scream ice cream! March, Monday 11th

i've expressed my love for gelato before, i know.. i'm just so glad that my favourite place to buy it re-opened after months of winter!
























i've been a little bit off-topic lately, but as soon as it gets warmer new tales, places, itineraries, two wheelers point of views are coming!

have a nice week

March. 2013 first ride and other spring-y happy things

these days are full of the small joys that accompany the change of season.
it was finally time for the first ride of this year with our Lambretta, which was as good as always.

then.. the first outdoor barbecue, seeing the baby donkey just born in the neighborhood, collecting wild chicory in the fields with grandma, having coffee with gelato in the porch.
goodbye winter.
