- What do you do when you have tickets to the opera but the whole world has been put on standby? You pretend of course!
And what do you do when you want pizza but there are no pizzerias open anymore? You turn your kitchen into a pizzeria!

Ahhhh.... I don't know how or why exactly but your videos make me feel safe in these very unsafe times. I love how, you, Carlo and Skye are just getting on with things, waiting for the storm to pass. Focusing on family and food and repurposing and living seasonally seems like the perfect antidote to the current stressors we all face. Thank you so muck, Nicki -- and Carlo and Skye too! And the cast of happy animals!! Please keep doing what you're doing! Bisous from France!
it does feel safe here at home. Thanks for watching from France!
I laughed out loudwith your bread-making attempt. That's exactly how my bread came out. Flat. I see you did press the inside and it did bounce back a little. Kind of like the bread I made. But not quite like the bread I get at the supermarket. LOL but I will try again. Just wanted you to know I really laughed out loud when I saw your reaction to your bread
You have no idea how much we look forward to seeing your vlogs, even though we are all going through this together you are keeping everyone’s spirits high with giving us a window into your life, beautiful Positano, your lovely family and Holly the dog (and cats 🐱 and chickens 🐔!!). Stay safe ♥️♥️
Hello from Lockdown London, we love your youtube videos Nicky and we've been following you for a couple of years. But I have to say that we really love your Quarantine Diaries, they are so interesting. It's nice to see you interacting with your family and friends and really fantastic to hear Italian being spoken by everyone along with the English subtitles. I've been studying Italian for a while so it's great and very helpful and adds a whole new dimension to your videos. Plus we love watching your recipes!!!💛💙💚❤💜
Yes please continue as you are doing. These vlogs keep me going. Love you all ❤
What a lovely idea to go to the opera. Your pizza looks so yummy. Just love seeing life in Positano.
Got to see the river at last even though it was dry!
Carlo is always doing something useful and seems very methodical 👍
Dressing up for the opera was such a great idea!
I am going to tell you this Life is what you make it.
It is soooooo refreshing to see people enjoying it. LOVELY family.
Thank you Niki. Stay safe wonderful Lady
So glad I watched this, so much zucchini this time of year and some prawns in the freezer, along with some fresh tomatoes. Thanks for the simple recipe Nicki!
Always a treat to wake up to a new vlog... many thanks for a peek into your lives....❤️
Hi from Ireland - I've only found you recently Nicky ( you were mentioned on @TheChateauDiaries which I also follow) and I'm going through your vlogs one by one at the mo. I love all the little goings on and I look forward to your new posts too
Perfect...and what I love is, no matter where you go or what you do...Holly is always with you. X Sandi
Thank goodness for your videos. So look forward to them. Be safe!
Your video is a daily dose of vitamins for me. I love your life!
How lovely to see warm sun in your garden. You probably know what our weathers like! Really enjoyed the opera, pizza and chickens! Please ask Carlo to tell us more about gardening, e.g. cutting back to strengthen. How is Skye doing? Thanks for posting so often.
I will try and get him to do more!
I simply love your kind of living, you are very lucky 😊
Lovely video of your day Nikki. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us all. As someone said, it's a nice wee break from the problems of the world right now. I can't wait for the snow to finish melting here so I can get outside and do some gardening and planting. I have plans to make s pizza oven too, because pizza is so good. I had a wonderful meal and pizza in Positano and they even made it heart shaped for me. Lol. I felt so spoiled!
I love love love that you love opera and that the little children love opera also
you are amazing NIKKI, such an inspiration for me and preparing my new vacay beach house in southern Chiba Japan with lots of veggies hopefully
I absolutely love your videos and your positivity!
Thank you for another lovely video. And the pizzas looks do yummy 💜
This was just perfect! I love the creativity of going to the opera from your home... plus the slippers! The more and more I watch you with your chickens, the more I want one. Although, it's a little hard to keep on in backyard here in New Jersey lol. Wear all the bizarre outfits you want, we don't care lol! The pizza looked delicious! Thank you for sharing Nicki.
Ciao Nicki. OMG that pizza looks delicious! I miss pizza! 🍕. Thank you for sharing your lives. Grazi!
As always, wonderful. I so look forward to your stories.
Thanks!
Omg the man on Carlos phone, is he a chef at Chez Black? I saw him making pizza when I was there last May. I have a photo of him on my phone lol. Best pizza ever. How about Carlos makes a pizza oven outside 😛
Yes, that’s him!
cool about the chef!
When so many husbands just veg on the couch & watch sports or whatever, Carlo is definitely showing he rejects passivity & is very industrious! How nice!
Wow! This has made me hungry for pizza. Thanks for another great video😀
You guys are the BEST!!!!! Every second of this video is fabulous!!!!Opera was delightful& You, Carlo & Skye are awesome!!! I’m telling you That I am soo impressed with your cooking!!! I will make your pizza today & the calamari for tomorrow 🥰
Hello from California, enjoying all your vids. Take care, stay well. amazing life! Karla
Your videos are fabulous. Thank you
You're a very happy soul . Excellent .
also a very grumpy soul often!
Your videos keep getting better and better. You're spoiling us! Make sure to clean up the broken eggs as soon as possible. Hens can develop a taste for them, then you won't get any. Many people cull the egg eaters so they don't teach the others to do it. Love the new intro, btw. I tried your recipe for zucchini and pasta and it was delish. The pink squid are ugly creatures, but I'm sure delicious. Thank you for a bright spot in my day!
One day I will have a house in Positano.. enjoin your blogs soooo much...
I also made pizza, yesterday, here in Los Angeles🌸 Love your vlogs, Nicki and your family. The new intro was awesome and informative for those who are new to you. Stay safe and keep vloging.
I should have done it ages ago!
Those pizzas look amazing! I have to try that recipe! Thanks for sharing Nicki! 👌🏼
I just found your channel and I already adore you ❤️
I'm trying to bringe watch all your videos, it's been a dream to see the amalfi coast and through your camera i am getting to see more than i ever thought i would thank you.
Hi ricky seymour not sure if you know and of course this is just a suggestion but by not skipping the ads Nicki gets a tiny bit of money. I do it as a way of thanking her. Best wishes
thanks for watching!
Stay safe guys ... love from Canada !
The pizza looks yummy, handy having a pizza chef on call. I really like your intro, well done.
Chickens like to lay eggs where others have laid theirs, you could try leaving a golf ball or faux egg in the nesting box to encourage them to lay there. I know it sounds odd but seems to work especially with young hens. Unfortunately, not able to have any hens myself as I live in a flat so I’m enjoying your four.
I don't have any fake eggs or balls! I have nothing similar at all..
@@NickiPositano Carlo is going to have to make one, now there's a challenge lol
@@NickiPositano You can simply leave the actual eggs in the nest for a few days :) We used some plastic eggs that were supposed to be painted to make Easter decorations, but unless you have a bunch of Easter eggs lying around I don't know... beauty blenders, perhaps! ;)
I also agree with what others are saying about calcium. What you can do is collect egg shells, smash them up and put that in a bowl for them. Offering chickens crushed seashells is common here, maybe that's a summer project!
@@hypea1 BEAUTY BLENDERS!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I have them! GOing to dig them out right now! thank you xxx
you were right! I should have waited before watching this episode!! Now it's 8:30am in London and I am craving PIZZA!! Oh well today I am going to the shops to see if I can find asparagus and zucchini to make with my pasta with cheese like you have done in some of your previous vids. At least I have pasta, seeing as you can't find flour here easily.
I wonder what all the flour hoarders are doing with it?
I watched during lockdown but forgot to comment enjoyed the opera I went to my grandaughters 21st online🥰Those stairs will be wonderful workout you seem in shape anyway Nicki.Love the cooking tutorial pizza looks yummy delicious Thankyou for this loved it❤️🥰
Your outfits are amazing!!! Ultimate in Italian colture 😆
I think you are a great chef!!! Pizza seens delicious!!!
Yum! My neighbours where I use to live had chickens, and as far as I could see, the chickens always acted strangely,my here was no normal, they also were bullies in the group and the picked on! Sometimes when there were a change of chickens there would be harmony and then it would all change again, but they did have many types altogether. Just an observation....it could be that it was just my neighbours chickens, were like that 🤷♀️
We, were expecting all love and eggs and got mean girls, instead.
Thanks for a lovely slice of daily life in quarantine 🤗 much the same here, if you take out the scenery, weather handy husband .... I mowed the lawn, cleaned the floors, went for a walk 😁 take care.
Mine are only mean when one lies down!
Pizza looks excellent. I recently learned to make in Napoli and theres a wee secret, the longer you leave the dough to rise (1 day), with very little fresh yeast...the less those who are a bit sensitive will suffer. My daughter suffers always after pizza, something with the gluten I guess. But when made like this...no tummy troubles!
Great tip!
I would love to try a bite of your pizza's, they look delicious.
She’s pretty new at the egg laying business, she’ll get the hang of it, but putting fake eggs in the nesting box definitely works. The egg is broken not because it fell, but because the chickens pecked at it as they peck at everything. The fake eggs will stop that behavior to because their beaks will get sore after awhile. You’ll find the beauty blenders in shreds if you put them in the nesting boxes 😜 The other chickens pecking on the one is normal. This is where the term “pecking order” comes from. You can’t stop it and sometimes the “order” changes. My “lowest’ girl isn’t allowed to perch by the rest of the hens, so after it’s dark, I pick her up off the floor and put her on the perch. Chickens can’t see in the dark. Hope this helps 😊🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
Thank you! I’ll see if I can figure out who’s boss.. I did notice that 3 sleep together and the other is way over the other side. Must check again to see if it is always like that
Hi Nicki. My name is Mantaki from South Africa. I happened to come across one of your video on my TH-cam channel a few days ago and since then I've been following you everyday. Your videos are so beautiful, nice, interesting and informative. I've been dreaming of visiting Positano for a longtime and your videos gives me the feel of Positano. I love everything that you do and what you show. I've one question though, why do you say "I live with Carlo" instead of saying " I live with my husband Carlo " or " my partner Carlo..."😅😅😅👍
Carlo is gorgeous but then so are you. Lovely family. So much joy and fun in the midst of worldwide bedlam.
Pizzas looked great. Here in the US we use pepperoni, which I really like. Making pizza this weekend. Thank you and Carlo for another great episode.
Pepperoni must be similar to salami!
The food looks so good!!! I never get to eat those types of pastas in California so it's always interesting to see how many types you can make. I miss the food in Italy and I was supposed to visit Positano in May but now everything is cancelled. =(
I am 69 years old. I am so obsessed with coming to Positano. I have a feeling it won't be until 2021 or 2022. What do you think? I am coming from New York. I am hoping for 2021. Love, love your videos.
Wow, you’re all doing so well after so long. I’m going nuts already, but it’s a small price to pay.
Reminds me of Mia mama. She would make pizza like yours. So much better than shop brought.
My ultimate favourite food. 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕👍❤️
Has Carlo figured out he's a TH-cam star yet? 😄
He’s still fighting against it!
@@NickiPositano Tell him it's inevitable. Ha!
@@NickiPositano Too late....all of you are stars!
❤
Pizza 🍕 looks delicious another great video 😊
Lovely pizzas great video thanks for sharing
This was so sweet!💕
I'm surprised with how handy you both are you don't have an outdoor brick oven. Those oven baked pizzas still looked super delicious though!
It's really good that he just keeps busy all the time that's great he's a really good handyman there !!
P.S. I love how you & Elizabeth & the girls still creatively hung out & had your opera night in spite of the quarantine!
Hello from quarantine in Kennebunkport, Maine. My niece and I are quarantined with our 2 pugs. We are walking a lot, (either on the beach or in the woods which we can walk to from our house.) we love your videos and hope you and your family stay safe and well. We live in a very beautiful place as you do but don’t have your gorgeous flora and fauna.
It sounds like you have a lot of space and freedom!
lovely! thank you
All looks delicious.
a nice watch ,, thank you from Malta
That pizza looked amazing!
There seems to be a flour shortage here so cannot do much baking.
Dad says the secret is to go to the smaller supermarkets in small towns!
Cecilia Bartoli is our favourite and have just ordered new CD Vivaldi 'Concerti per Flauto' Giovanni Antonini & Il Giardino Armonico who of course has done a lot of stuff with Cecilia.
The pizza 🍕 looks very good 😌
I love your new intro:)
Delicious looking Pizzas 🍕
I loved Da Aldofo!!!!
Hello. I definitely understand the pounds sneaking up on you during quarantine. I gained 5 pounds or about a 1/3 of a stone. So frustrating. Now it is too hot to walk as it is approaching 40C midday. If I walk first thing in the morning, it is still @ 28C. Yuck. I'm going to have to cut out a meal or stop eating ice cream. : )
The pizzas look yummy!!
Chickens pick at any other bird they think r sick no egg didn't fall out while bird on stick that is cute I would say egg out of place in pen belongs 2 bird getting picked on ! U guys r great love ur video's. Kentucky still praying 4 Italy🙏 we need your prayers too it made it all the way here 2 little country town in Kentucky!
I know what you mean here we are in 17days of lockdown and some pants are mysteriously getting tighter 😉. Like you I have started to up my workout routine. Sky looks so pretty and I liked your Opera outfit. Wish I could have tasted your lovely pizza...........🤗🇨🇦
I found a great pizza dough recipe online and wouldn’t use anything else now, I also make a lovely garlic & coriander ‘naan bread from the recipe 😀
Lovely video! I’ve got to find more ways to get exercise too....I’m packing on the lbs!!! I’ve been meaning to ask, how long does it take you to edit and produce each video you post? It must take a while! And where do you find your selections of music? Missing this week we would have been there....but praying the world is better soon and we’ll be there in 6 months!! Have a wonderful day and stay well! 😘🙏🏻🌞
It takes a good few hours. I try to do a bit each evening instead of one long slog at it. Music is either from the TH-cam Audio Library or @LucyKielyMusic or sometimes I use a subscriber service, Epidemic Sound
Nicki Positano I figured it did! You make it look so effortless and easy but I know it takes time and dedication and we appreciate it! 😃
Nicki Positano one more question, do you edit and produce on a PC or laptop? Thinking of doing something on my personal channel just for my family! 😃 Thanks, Nicki!
love the pizza!
beautiful! I was just in Praiano in January. How is the bee/wasp situation there in the summer? I hiked in January and noticed big black wasps, thankfully they werent too bothersome but was curious..
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoyed the QD !
Please show more of Carlo's projects :) Your house is so beautiful!
He's starting to run out of possibilities!
@@NickiPositano Maybe a workshop/shed remake, remodel ? :) The perfect time to clean and organize. Can't wait to get to my workshop in the countryside. Best of luck from Romania!
Fun fact: the “backbone” of a squid is called a pen and it’s technically and extremely reduced shell.
Hello I have just discovered your channel and subscribed. I love watching you and your family. Can you tell me where does the " not my cat live" you say upstairs does that mean there is another family living on the first floor of your property? Hope you don't mind me asking. Kind regards
I love your videos.. And I.Love. Love..Holly..
Homemade pizza is the only way to go...i have si spoiled my family♥️
The chickens can sometimes eat the egg for a protein source.
thank you!
Are the squids local? Would love to see where how they are caught and brought to the market!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, I love all of your videos, take care. I am going to go pick up chicks today. I miss pizza in Italy. Heck, I miss Italy.
My partner has a similar pair of slippers as Carlo!
Your food looks lovely don't worry nothing is official ornella from london
You are now a pizzaiolo. Brava
You are out of shape…. Are you kidding me. All those steps. You are extremely fit and strong. 💪🏼
Im a little confused when you said you never made pizza before? Do you normally order it? I have only watched the quarantine videos so far as i am new here.
Normally we would go out and eat pizza in a restaurant....
Your tomato's look so different to store bought.
the tomatoes here taste better too!
Tomatoes in Italy such a joy especially the long type ....
Hi, What is the name of the singer that is played frequently on your videos? I really like his voice and the music is so gentle.
Check out this link : clucking.net/my-hens-are-laying-on-the-floor.html
This should answer you chicken questions. Good luck !
How do I become a "patron"?
There is a link in the description box below each video!

Enjoyed the adorable little girl explaining the opera plot. Your food recipes are always inspiring me to cook. Maybe you can get help on chicken behavior online - www.thehappychickencoop.com. Take care.
