AUGUST IN TUSCANY - HOW SUMMER IN A SMALL VILLAGE FEELS
BUONGIORNO lovely friends and viewers!
Welcome to "Tales from Tuscany"!
We are Marisa and David, Australian expats now living part-time in Chianni Tuscany.
During the Global Pandemic, we decided to buy our Italian dream home, sight unseen and with no prior knowledge of the area.
This is our journey and we are taking you along with us!
TODAY'S VLOG...A REAL MISH-MASH of my summer alone here in Chianni.
As a "part time" solo resident, I want to show you the authentic side of village life and how it feels at times to be alone in a small village with no transport, working from home with no company for days on end and what seems to be a million issues to remedy alone.
It's not all sunshine and roses but it teaches you resilience, determination and in our case, makes our bond even stronger. We will get there...I just know it!
As always, we hope you enjoy the time you spend with us, as much as we love having you with us!
Love and hugs...
Baci ed abbracci :D
Marisa and David xoxoxo

    I did not hear from you so i thought i would check back, i realized i made a comment and then forgot to post it. I was about 2 hours late and missed another premier . I really enjoyed the lovely video and the beautiful cafe next to the gym. The ceilings were magnificent! You are doing so much better on your feet than you're a few months ago. I hope things won't be gloomy for you, i know you miss David. I hope to see the next premier soon, take care and God bless.

    Hi Marisa, I did feel sad for you that you really had a bad day struggling so much. I must have missed watching a video somewhere as I always see David with you where you probably mentioned that he had to leave for a while. Why did he have to go overseas? Is everything OK. I do hope so. And yes I bet you do miss your mum and worry about her being OK.

    • @talesfromtuscany
      @talesfromtuscany วันที่ผ่านมา

      Ciao Sasa and thank you for your lovely thoughts! Yes David left over a month ago after our trip to England, so I’ve been on my own for a while renovating and taking care of my health issues. We still share our time between here and Australia so this is the same each year. You probably have missed quite a few videos if you weren’t away of this but that’s just our reality first now. Thank you for caring and for your support! 🥰♥️🤗🙏🏼🌹

    Thank you for your lovely video, Marisa. It's funny, but just before you showed your sad story, I kind of felt the loneliness and the absence you feel from being away from David, having spent so much time together over the last months. It's hard to try and deal with life on your own. And of course, it's hard to be away from mum. I know that feeling oh so well. Howeve, you soldier on as we all have to in life whether good or bad.. it's great that you have such a good community and that you have some fun times. Nice to see that your home is coming together. Sending you a hug and much love. Take care 😊❤🌹💐

      Awww thank you so much lovely Janet. Yes I think I'm feeling the absence of those I love so much more this year. Between Mum not being 100%, David and I being so far apart and my injury still not permitting to live as I wish, it's all been a lot on top of daily decisions, planning etc. Just a lot on and no one to share the load with. As you said, we move forward despite all those things because we are doing it for those we love as well as ourselves. I'm proud of what I've achieved despite the hiccups and I'm so grateful to you and all our gorgeous followers for the tremendous support and love you show us.

    Marisa, I am sending you a huge big bear hug. When your loved ones are not close to see and hear and feel it is very challenging in itself. On top of that, everything else. I know that feeling oh so well. I try to do the best I can and all of the rest I give to God! We definitely do all have those days. Your town is beautiful. The flat town really speaks to me. I am so glad you had some outings for meals with friends. Yes, that ceiling was stunning. I think the boys are making great progress. I am also happy you guys got a little rain.we had a few thunder and lightning storms followed by heavy rain that pelted down all night. Our storms knocked out our power twice. We live in a huge city. Our place is so quiet at night, you can hear a pindrop. I am happy to hear your therapy sessions are helping you. Say hi to David. We miss him too. Prayers for your mom's health.❤

    This is beautiful! I just found this channel, Marisa I didn't realize you had this channel also. I'm going to look at all these properties you have on here. Honestly I am looking for something cheaper like you what found your friend on your other channel a few days ago. This would be a holiday home for me with hopes to move there full time.

      I'm so happy that you found my other playlist and are enjoying the homes. I am going to filming some others soon, however I do offer a Property Finding service (which is how Marsha found me) and that's how I found her property. You're always welcome to email me on residenzatoscana@proton.me for further details of my services. Thanks so much for joining me here! 🥰🤗🙏

    Hello Marcia, thank you for opening up and for being so honest and frank. You are human after all and when you miss your loved ones it makes it so much more difficult 😞 emotionally. Try not to keep yourself isolated as I think you are trying not to by going out which is a good sign. I was wondering why David was not around have I missed something? I don’t understand why he’s not with you. I am not asking for you to explain. Don’t get me wrong. That’s your business. Remember what you are feeling is temporary and this too shall pass. You are weathering the storm right now within your own being. The lack of community can be very difficult. I know I’ve travelled and lived in different places in Canada from the East Coast of Canada to the West Coast of Canada and I relate with you. I got over it by meditating, it has helped me come to a place of peaceful acceptance. Maybe this is the time to start writing your book. Check on your vitamin D3 levels, the lack of it can create mood swings and depression. I highly recommend it ciao, Bella. 💞💐🌈

      Thank you so much for all your care and kindness! I’m so grateful. I have lived alone so many times during my life but this seems to be the hardest as I miss David so much when we are separated by work/life circumstances. I take vitamin D everyday and have done for years … it’s a wonderful vitamin! I know I’ll get through this and make the right decision in the end. It’s just been a massive year and I’m still healing mentally & physically so it has taken its toll on me. Thank you once again .. it means a lot to me ♥️🫶🏼🥰🙏🏼🤗💋

    I love your video this week, I love how you give the details of such things as the bus stop and where to stand, and where you can find it as well as all the different shops in those towns. I do enjoy all these details in your videos, all the nature scenes, just every little thing I feel like I am living the life in Italy through you through your eyes. I see what I wanna see as well. I’m sorry you will feeling under the weather, I know it’s not fun, especially as you explained you have more money going in then coming out, boy do I know that feeling. Hopefully it will get better, and I truly hope that one day I will find a home in these towns around you because I love that area especially the spa town, I’m a spa person. I love the thermal water so I definitely have that on my list to lift somewhere where I can jump on the bus and go to thermal pool. I’m hoping one day once you start renting your little place that you are restoring that I can come over and stay there for a while especially when your husband is gone so you won’t feel so alone !

Writing is your passion, so you could start an expat one, even if it’s online with other utubers. You would be so wonderful in discussions and would offer inspiration to others. All the best…Take care, you have lots of friends out there. 🤗💐

    Buongiorno amica mia. You've done so well getting through hot Agosto. Understandably you've had some difficult challenges & thanks so much for sharing. You do bounce back though & look for beautiful & positive things & places to share with us. So hats off to you. I love the community spirit you have there with the long table fiestas etc. Nothing quite like it here but there are lots of events of all kinds, just different because its a bigger city. I can't wait to experience it but not sure what will be on in the different places I'm visiting. Your cantina is really taking shape too. We're getting lovely spring weather now, seems like its returning to the beautiful Gold Coast weather I havent seen for ages. Last few years was quite changeabe. Anyway we soldier on don't we & know you have some prizes & surprises ahead. Ciao my darling Marisa, love you🧡🧡🧡🎶🎶🎶💃💃💃🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

    Ciao Marisa, I love you kept the small window, it is coming along, your workers are amazing. I am so sorry David isn't with you, it does make problem solving and decision making seem so much harder, and that can be so overwhelming. As you say "respira e basta", everything will work out as it should. It's always a good day when pasta is part of it. Get yourself all back to 100% before heading back, with Italy affording you the treatment you need. The spa center looks really nice. I just love your Ape, she is cute, and I would miss her too. Stay strong. Tanto amore da N.Y.

    Hi Marisa, I really understand how you feel, I am in a similar situation in many ways...on those hard days I keep telling myself how lucky I am to have what I have (acceptance+gratitude+live in the present+trust the universe) but yes those down days come around don't they. The solitude at night is difficult for me. I also work from home but am in a lace that doesn't resonate. Something that keeps me going is my plan to move to Italy, starting with more trips! Take care and if I could fly over on a magic carpet and have a coffee with you, I would. You always see the beauty and this too shall pass (is another of my mantras). Thanks to you both for the wonderful delicious and realistic slices of life there 💚🤍❤️ #forza and all the best to you!!
