Cook · traveller · forty

A long lunch under the cypress is her idea of a perfect birthday.

II.

How they met

Forty trips around a very warm sun.

I wanted no big party, just the friends who have travelled with me, a long lunch under the cypress, and the kind of slow days only Tuscany makes possible.

vi aspetto, with all my heart.
