It’s been 4 yrs since I found your channel. You were such a bright spot during Covid and after 4 yrs I still look forward to Sunday videos with Nicki and Carlo💜💜💜
Same for me. You had 35,000 followers in 2020 and look at you now!😊 You took me to a beautiful country and away from reality here in the Midwest of the U.S. I had lost 3 close friends to Covid and you helped me escape that pain once a week. Your channel has gotten me to take Italian. Just love you and Carlo❤❤❤
My heart goes out to Luca, your Mom, and all of you. Time is the only thing that helps with grief. And yes, let the young people be young. They need time to chill after a hard day, and youth doesn’t last forever! You don’t want their life to go by in a blur. You have such loving attitudes about all of this.
We've been watching you for years and are always incensed when people have a pop at you- you shouldn't have to defend your daughter and her boyfriend for not having the time to look after your garden so much! For what it's worth, thank you SO much for taking the time to make such interesting videos. We look forward to when we watch them if we can't on Sundays sometimes. You and Carlo, Holly and Indie are a highlight of our week and we send you all our love and best wishes. Phil and Pete and Max the dog in Munich
Thank you for being here every Sunday . The world is so troubled and unforgiving today. Following you both reminds me that there are still good people in this world.
Your giant apricots look amazing. I totally get Luca’s lesser enthusiasm for gardening. Calling up your parents and sharing your day to day life is such an important part of our lives and when we lose them, those lost conversations leave a big hole. Wishing Luca, Carlo, mom and all your family for the hole in your hearts to heal. Nicki thank you, as always, for a great, real life video. Ciao.
It is so hard to lose a parent. My Dad died when I was 36, but Mom lived to be 97-Grandmother to 100. Several Great Aunts the same. When my Mom died 7 yrs ago I was 67. You could almost say “ How dare you die ? I’ve had had you with me all my life!” It’s such a luxury to have one or both parents alive, in relatively good health and with their mental faculties Lived in present time-appreciated after the fact. God bless you all To plagiarize Dr Seuss a bit ( you can). cry because it’s over (It helps) to smile because it happened
Nicki. Book half finished! Congrats! I admire your discipline. Would you put some in an empty EVO BOTTLE and send it to me? Well done! Look forward to reading it!
@@sheilasmyth5874 my dad also died when I was 34. We had mom another 31 years and it was so very sad to lose her also. I did think she would keep going and going. I talk to her all the time but no answers come my way.
I lost my Dad 4 weeks ago, he'd started tomatoes, beans and courgettes and today I planted loads of them in pots in my garden. I feel for Carlo and Luca, it's a strange new world ❤
My deepest condolences for the loss of your father. I feel sure he would be pleased to know you are caring for the garden plants he started. May doing so bring you some measure of comfort as well.
Beautiful video. I’ve been thinking the family have been missing Carlo’s dad this spring. It sure leaves an empty spot in your heart and life. I lost my parents twenty years ago and my daughter from cancer almost three years ago. One of my grandchildren has leukemia but hopefully she will cleared of it. We must count our blessings and be kind to everyone. So glad you are working on a new book. That takes dedication and a lot of perseverance. I enjoyed your last one. Much love and have a wonderful summer.
People really are unbelievable sometimes how they can't take the word Road closed and believe it is beyond me. I feel sorry for all those people who had to walk so far to get to work. I'm glad the road is open now. It is interesting to me how you explain everything so carefully because I assume if you do not you will just get people asking you questions. You are so smart to be one step ahead of the game. Love and blessings from New Mexico
Hi Nicki! My family and I love watching your channel. My 9 year old Ethan especially loves watching every Sunday. We live in the US and recently bought an apartment in Volterra. It's fun to see some of the same stores/places that we have been to on your channel! It's such a beautiful place. We are heading back to Volterra in July and we can't wait to spend time in such a beautiful region of the world. Thanks again for providing a positive and happy space on TH-cam for others to enjoy!
I think your garden is missing you/Carlo being around. Sorry to hear Luca is struggling with his/Carlo's dad's death, I hope that he is able to get back to celebrating dad's life. The garden is still so pretty. Thank you for another interesting video, take care and all the best until next Sunday.
Spending time in a garden when your loved one is gone can be a blessing but it can also be very hard. When I said goodbye to my soul dog who was my garden girl it took me months to process. We said goodbye in October 3 years ago and the next Spring I really didn’t tend things. I was so sad. I know to some she was just a dog but she was my family and friend. I found a way to hang a beautiful chime over her favorite spot and when the wind blows through I think she’s saying hello. It helped me get back in my garden. Maybe Luca and Carlo can make a memory spot in the garden to honor their Dad so when they are working in it they can have a chat with him. It takes time. Thank you for this beautiful video.
You two are full of vibrant energy ✨️ because of your own grown bio food! It's a gift from nature to give us energy and joy! What a lovely story, today.🎉😊
I am fortunate to own a little condo in Siena, and really enjoy watching your videos done in both of your lovely homes. I have had other similar videos suggested to me, but I must compliment you by saying how natural and easy your channel shows your life together. Nothing is overdone or overacted, and that is what people who have dreams about living your lifestyle want to see. When I tell my clients (I’m a hairdresser in NJ USA) what it’s like to have a home in Italy, they enjoy just hearing the simple day to day experiences that I have. Keep doing what you’re doing, e, in boca lupo per il prossimo libro!
I lived in Positano for a while in the summer of 1973. What wonderful memories. How they must go up and down a myriad of very uneven steps, everywhere I say I’m very impressed. I developed strong legs. I stayed on the other side to where Carlos and Niki live. They look towards my pension. My lunch usually was an enormous fig, a ball of fresh mozzarella and a piece of fresh crusty bread! Omg those are the best memories of Positano! I was a traveling artist! The path to the beach was over 425 irregular steps! Wow, I had to take a dip in the water before going up just to not to over heat! 🤣🤣🤣
Nicki, love the sunglasses! I have to admit that watching you, Carlo & the dogs walk on the "cliff" kind of took my breath away! Be cautious of the heat. Here in southern Arizona, we've been in the 100s for the entire month of June. Monsoon is here, so the higher humidity adds to the discomfort. Grieving the loss of a loved one is a multi-layered process. As the years go on there is still the sense of loss, but the warm happy memories come forth and add a small level of comfort. As always, thank you for sharing a portion of your lives. Have a wonderful week!
My deepest sympathy to Luca and everyone. I can't imagine losing my parents. They are elderly and I know it's a fact of life but I can't imagine it. Nicki your father is amazing, and I hope you have him around for a long time. You and Carlo are the best parents. I've been to Sorrento, I was there on 9/11 having a Caprese salad when the planes hit the towers, and I also went to Portofino & Positano for just a few hours. I was emotionally in a bad place, and I don't recall what I enjoyed about my visit. I have been to Tuscany a couple of times and also to the Region of Umbria. Orvieto, Luca, and Sienna were some of the towns I enjoyed exploring. I've been to Rome at least three times, and I love Rome. People stop me and ask me for directions, and I always disappoint them by telling them I speak Spanish or English. Nicki, Will you and Carlo also be growing your vegetables in Tuscany? You inspire me to garden I have a small patio but I grow herbs and some veggies. Hugs to Luca and his family...be well.
I am going to be 60 years old in January, and I am growing my first ever garden this year Some people are so terribly ugly and broken inside. I am sorry that they found your lovely channel and I hope that they get better someday - let the rest of us dance, work, grow and live and love in peace! ❤
Have a wonderful Sunday, always a pleasure to follow along with you two whatever your week may bring, it's a nice escape for me here on my little horse farm in East Texas. It's in the 100's here now and I have a small pool filled with cool water in my Big barn for two of my Big dogs Roy Boy and Blanca along with 3 big fans. I spray my horses off with the water hose twice daily. I have a smaller pool in front of my baby barn down here at the farmhouse for my 4 ducks, my 4 cats lounge on the back porch with the fan blowing on them and all always with 3 big bowls of fresh cool water. Federico Fellini Falbo (Rico) my little Rat Terrier who's 10, gets to stay in the house where he's always comfortable! It's a lot for me to take care of and it gets really tough when the weather becomes an issue summer or winter! My knee replacement has gone beautifully and I see my surgeon for the 6 week check up on the 3rd, he's going to be so happy when he sees my rapid recovery! I have my left replaced on July 22nd. After I get my two new knees I'll be able to travel to Italy and walk all over the place with no more pain! Yay! Ciao!
@@dannetterousseau4095 hi there! I have friends that live in Seguin! John and Marci! They've always wanted me to come for a visit! But I don't get to go to many places because I have so many animals! But my plans to travel to Italy are when I receive my dual citizenship. I've recently applied and will know more soon! It'll be a couple years yet before I can make the journey, but I'm really looking forward to walking down the streets of Sicily where my great grandparents are from!
Blessings to Luca , Carlo and all your brothers and Mama . Yes, it is hard, grief . Things fluctuate , grief fluctuates for as long as it takes. The loss of a parent never leaves your heart and as you said Nicki , often it surges back in a big wave ,at certain moments. Luca and Carlo being able to tell Papa what they were planting in the garden and suddenly remembering that their father has gone and they cannot share their day with him , anymore. All these daily activities are connected to love and loss. Sadly we all experience the loss of our parents , it is hard and effects everyone in different ways. Grief is an individual path. Sending love from the UK 😘 x Janette
This 74 year old lady loves it on sunday to watch ur videos. And l love your new home too l too have been watching your channel for 4 years .Tomorrow is our Canada Day 🇨🇦 🤔. Pleas say hi to Carlo for me . See u next Sunday
Nicki, I just love watching your videos. There is nothing like the Amalfi coast and having a regular reminder is such a blessing! I just had surgery today and this was the bright spot in my evening here in the hospital. I also purchased one of your sweatshirts just to remind me of the good life! Thank you so much for sharing your world with us! I love you both and enjoy hearing about your adventures ❤
Nicki & Carlo. I also found your channel 4 years ago during the beginning of that difficult time. Just like Wendy said below you were a bright spot and allowed us to escape at least mentally. Since then we have been blessed to be able to come over and meet you both and we have even come back for more bringing our kids. We look forward to Sundays while we plan our next trip to Italy. Your channel is at the top of our must watch list every week. You guys are awesome. God bless you both and families
So lovely to escape to and visit your lives. Both locations are scenic and beautiful. Watching your weekly posts is like going on vacation. It's like visiting another world. What am I saying? It IS another world!!! Thank you!
You know Carlo wasn't there because he was visiting with someone. Grief is difficult. There are many ways to grieve. The duration is different for everyone. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Sending hugs and prayers to Carlo and his family.
Lemon Balm tea: remove the leaves from the stems of the plant, dry the leaves on a sheet pan. Boil the water and add the crushed dried leaves to the water and let steep for about 5 minutes for hot tea. Add honey if you like. I store the dried leaves in an air tight container for future use.
Huggggggggggggs 2 Carlo & Luca very sad & hurtful but I think that your Dad was so proud of his growing tradition ❤❤❤❤❤❤ He knew Carlo & his brothers loved each other. That is the best thing. A wonderful family ❤❤❤❤super huggggggggggggs. Thinking of you all
It is such a pleasure to share a bit of my day with you, Carlo and your cast of characters. thank you for so gracefully showing up the realities of life while also honoring what it means to be human and the ups and down that come with it,
So gorgeous!! Opening drone shots. Are magical. And shud be used on travel ads!! The garden brings my own memories of my grandparents around Naples. I can only imagine for Carlo n his brother there are very recent memories. Treasure. Them!! I send you both so much luv july blessings upon blessings ❤️🎀💖🌸💖🌸❤️❤️🦋🤗🤗🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋💜💜💖💖💖🌺🌺🌺😘
I love your videos. I am on the couch a lot with terminal cancer so I live vicariously through your travels.😊❤I’ve made my girls promise to go there some day, it just looks like heaven on earth. ❤ What a cute couple you two are as well.
Hi Nicki and Carlo, Greetings from St Augustine FloridaI, I love your channel and can’t wait for your Sunday video showing us your beautiful home and lifestyle in Positano and your new home in Tuscany. I have been following you for years and read your interesting book, looking forward to your next one. 🤗🌴❤️
Love love Sundays do I can watch your vlogs I really enjoy them poor Lucas and Carlo it's so raw still with losing their father hope there Mum is coping.x
My Mum planted an orange azalia plant in a pot many many years ago and it now stands outside in my garden in the same old pot and still flowers at the same time each year. I was feeling very sad about my daughter recently and i looked out the window to see the azalia had just begun to flower again. It was like my dear old mum was saying dont worry she will come back one day! Mums been gone since 2009 but the azalia keeps flowering and reminds me of her love of family🥰 Blessings to your family and hope happy memories will comfort you allways💞
Please make sure Luca knows that I am thinking of him. His garden gives me and so many of us in the world great joy. He is a gardener that nourishes hearts and minds worldwide. And bellies of his large family in Positano! 🕊️
Howdy Everywhere!😂I have been binge watching your incredible channel, as if I found boxes of old family films in the attic! Nicki, your talent touches my heart. You are meticulous in all your endeavors, just like your dear parents. You & Carlos are darling together! You have beautiful families and friends! I love how you have brought them into your life, to create a wonderful Village of so much love and security. I have shed many tears, as I traveled a lot with my folks. Your story of moving to Positano, resonates with me. You & I are so much a like, in that essence. Keep sending these moments please. What our World needs now is all this beautiful adventure, a whole lot of LOVE & Positano’s Boat’s Full of More Lemons! If we had to Climb a 1000 Stairs, with bags and pups, hang by a thread for Daily Walks and Plant our own Gardens…maybe we’d spend less time creating unnecessary turmoil in our lives and appreciate tender mercies around us! You are the Epitome of Example…”WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS, MAKE LEMONADE…OR LEMON TEA!” Thank You Darlings for Sharing your Life with Us! With Love from USA xoxo🍋🤍🕊️
To hear that Luca is really feeling the loss of their father was heart breaking. My heart goes out to you all. Thank you for your wonderful videos … you brighten up our days x❤
Nikki and Carlo another great video you always have a beautiful beautiful scenery 3 and in walking around with you you can always imagine you're just being there with you doing the hikes with the dogs your garden is always gorgeous It's amazing how much you grow of your own stuff I try not alboys produce but I try to grow vegetables and stuff that I like to eat and it's understandable if the kids don't want to spend their only day off in the garden cause that would be making them work 24/7 everybody needs time off everybody needs a rest And always your videos are absolutely awesome I can't wait to you put another one out next Sunday it seems such a long time to wait but it is well worth it Have a great day.
Mondays in NZ are better when we know we have your vlog to watch. Have been watching you for years and it’s our favourite time of day when we settle in and see what you and your family have been up to. ❤
Thank you for another wonderfully perfect video. The sound was perfect!!! ❤ I share in your heartbreaking grieving. My dad passed away in 2011 from pancreatic cancer. It is unbelievably painful still. I know though that he wouldn't want me to be unhappy. He would say "cut it out" in his gentle way. He was the most gentle soul. The most *chill* person ever. Memories live forever, visiting in our dreams.
Thank you for sharing your garden update with us. I find your videos one of the nicest to watch while I'm eating a meal, single woman here who likes to cook her own meals, not eat out. Your content always makes a good meal better and with all the calm in them, makes digestion unhindered by any negative emotions. Thank you.
I can identify with the falling rocks, here in the Pacific NW there are many mountain highways that experience rock falls, between that and snow fall the roads can be closed fairly often. My heart goes out to Carlo’s family, losing a parent is such a life changing event. My Mom has been gone for 10 yrs and my Dad for 1. Both fall in May, so this is a difficult time for me. I was very close to them and miss them so. Working in the garden reminds me of them, as we always had a big veggie garden every year. Make sure to trim your hydrangeas sparingly each year. The flowers come on the old wood the following year. I only trim the flower portion, leaving the wood (or stem) and am rewarded each year with a huge abundance of flowers. Mine bloom in blues and deep purples, love the, so much.
lemon balm apparently great for gastrointestinal problems, calms muscle spasms, kills bacteria, helps re menstrual symptoms too! Wow, I only make lemon tea, love from Kris in new forest 🇬🇧
Nicki, you wear the most beautiful dresses! To Carlo and Luca and your family, I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad. I know people can say some crazy things, but I’m glad that it seems you mostly get love on your channel.
Sending lots of love and healing to Luca, Carlo, and all of your family. Grief can be a very lonely journey. The garden will flourish again in time. A lovely video x
I am a European by birth but lived in Toronto Canada for 68 years. However, whenever I am antwhere in Europe I am home. Seeing those gorgeous huge sweet apricots, I was back in my grandmothers garden, gorging myself on them, since WE NEVER GET THEM in my my neck of the woods. It's a long weekend here in Canada and only 16 degrees calcius at my cottage, ridiculiusly COLD. LOVE ITALY, north to south, many fabulous memories especially on the Amalfi coast.❤
Fabulous as always , just came back from a visit to Positano , Sorrento , Amalfi and Capri , it’s the most beautiful part of the world . How lucky you are to live in such a beautiful place 🙏🏻❤️Thank you for sharing your daily lives with us all .
I loved this video explaining things, showing us around, & explaining what is going on. Relaxed and just going about normal life. Beautiful drone footage. It has only been 12 weeks since Carlo's father passed away. 😢💔 The family are sad & grieving. Sending Luca, Carlo and the whole family lots of love. Perhaps the garden misses you both when you are away and the plants are sad because Carlo's father is in heaven now. I think nature is sensitive, more than we tune into. And each season and the weather changes. Seven years of plenty, seven years of famine as the saying goes. No, lets hope next season will bear fruits and vegetables again. Positano is beautiful scenery wise, but does have it's challanges too. The apricots look delicious. I love apricot jam. My partner & I just got home, we went to the Baltic sea for 4 days. It was spontaneous and very relaxing. On our way home today we stopped at an organic strawberry farm. I picked my own strawberries for the first time in my life, lol, which was so nice, it was my happy place for a few hours & I will make jam tomorrow. Scones, butter, homemade strawberry jam with tea. Yum. It reminds me of your dad Nicki. Making jams. I hope he is well and your brother. My back hurts after all the bending which makes me appreciate how hard strawberry farmers work. Let us be kind to eachother, lift eachother up when times get challanging as we all have our ups and downs. Being kind in the comments is our chance to be caring. Good going on your book Nicki.🎉 I wanted to get to Positano last year in July to buy your book but our trip in Italy was cut short because our camper van was damaged by the devestating hail storm at Lago di Garda. Maybe this year? Glad Carlo is taking a rest which is good to see, he worked very hard in Tuscany. Positano and Tuscany are beautiful in their own ways. Sending you all best wishes and a very good week. See you next Sunday. Ciao. Love from Germany 🤗💞
I love that the dogs like to lie in the thyme. I bet they smell good. Your big garden is wonderful. I've never seen lemons as large at the one you showed! Love your videos.
I understand how the brothers feel about the loss of their father. I was my dads companion for 12 years after my mom passed and i lived with him for the last four years.We traveled and did everything togeather.
Completely understand your loss as we too are grieving the loss of our son Drew who died suddenly in his sleep March 9th. He was only 31, married almost 10 years and is so missed by so many. ❤
Thank you for showing us around the garden! I love getting to see what's growing at all times of the year. It must be wonderful just being able to go outside and get most of what you need to cook a meal. As a lover of Zucchini, those are absolutely gorgeous! The leaves would be great for stuffing with ricotta cheese and herbs, and frying up in a club soda batter! Buona giornata!😋
This is one of my favourite kind of your videos. Friends, family, garden & home. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us. It is always a pleasure to "visit" you
Thank you Nicki, your channel has inspired my husband and I. We have visited the Amalfi coast several times. I am currently sat on my balcony in St’Agnello reading your book ❤
Huge hugs to Carlo, Luca, "mom" and all the family that lost the patriarch. So difficult and grieving is a personal journey. Ciao & hugs from Charleston, SC ~ Wanda & Vincenzo
It’s been 4 yrs since I found your channel. You were such a bright spot during Covid and after 4 yrs I still look forward to Sunday videos with Nicki and Carlo💜💜💜
I also found you during Covid! Every video took me on vacation and still does! ❤
I agree❤
Me too
Same for me. You had 35,000 followers in 2020 and look at you now!😊 You took me to a beautiful country and away from reality here in the Midwest of the U.S. I had lost 3 close friends to Covid and you helped me escape that pain once a week. Your channel has gotten me to take Italian. Just love you and Carlo❤❤❤
Same here.
My heart goes out to Luca, your Mom, and all of you. Time is the only thing that helps with grief. And yes, let the young people be young. They need time to chill after a hard day, and youth doesn’t last forever! You don’t want their life to go by in a blur. You have such loving attitudes about all of this.
We’ll said 💕

Well done! Look forward to reading it!
@@sheilasmyth5874 my dad also died when I was 34. We had mom another 31 years and it was so very sad to lose her also. I did think she would keep going and going. I talk to her all the time but no answers come my way.
The Positano videos are my favorite! Such a lovely life!
I missed the beautiful views of the ocean in Positano! How lovely to be so close to the sea.
I lost my Dad 4 weeks ago, he'd started tomatoes, beans and courgettes and today I planted loads of them in pots in my garden. I feel for Carlo and Luca, it's a strange new world ❤
Helena- WOW!!!! He took care of you with all this food. What a smart and thoughtful man! Take care. 🌸
My deepest condolences for the loss of your father. I feel sure he would be pleased to know you are caring for the garden plants he started. May doing so bring you some measure of comfort as well.

Every Sunday I feel as if I am visiting friends in Italy. You are a pleasant break from what seems like the unsolvable problems of the world.
Love seeing your videos each Sunday. Never boring….feeling like I’m having a conversation with friends.
Why type of job does Sky do?? She working for Elizabeth?
I think the garden is Grieving with the rest of you all. Big hugs to all the family including Luca.
I think you’re right 😢
Love your dress Nicki ❤ It's great that you get to pick such fresh fruits and veggies from your gardens. Grieving takes time and is hard 💔
Love the pups cooling off in the stream, they’re so sweet!
Was trying to remember all those wild places they swam near Celine’s in Tuscany. Maybe take a trip there with the pups.
Hourray! My sheer pleasure of Sunday ! Thank you taking us along with you !
Hello,
Just wanted to mention that in a world so full of stress and termoil, your videos have given me much peace. Thank you🎉
People really are unbelievable sometimes how they can't take the word Road closed and believe it is beyond me. I feel sorry for all those people who had to walk so far to get to work. I'm glad the road is open now. It is interesting to me how you explain everything so carefully because I assume if you do not you will just get people asking you questions. You are so smart to be one step ahead of the game. Love and blessings from New Mexico
I'm betting they saw all the people going up there to walk across, and thought there must be some secret route they weren't being told of.
They can't possibly be telling the truth! OR I'm sure they can't mean Me! OR I'll just go have a talk with the manager, they'll let Us Through! 😂😂😂
I never get tired of seeing your garden in positaton or Tuscany 😊❤
This was lovely. I enjoyed seeing your garden and learning about your day to day life in Positano.
Hi Nicki! My family and I love watching your channel. My 9 year old Ethan especially loves watching every Sunday. We live in the US and recently bought an apartment in Volterra.

How lovely to have a place to get away to. Grew up in Holmdel NJ. Enjoying PA now 👋
Sunday is always my favorite day of the week because you have a new video up. I so look forward to them❤
Enjoy your content. Can't wait till Sunday morning to see what y'all have been up to. ♥️🐾❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I lived in Positano for a while in the summer of 1973. What wonderful memories. How they must go up and down a myriad of very uneven steps, everywhere I say I’m very impressed. I developed strong legs. I stayed on the other side to where Carlos and Niki live. They look towards my pension.
My lunch usually was an enormous fig, a ball of fresh mozzarella and a piece of fresh crusty bread! Omg those are the best memories of Positano! I was a traveling artist!
The path to the beach was over 425 irregular steps! Wow, I had to take a dip in the water before going up just to not to over heat! 🤣🤣🤣
Nicki, love the sunglasses! I have to admit that watching you, Carlo & the dogs walk on the "cliff" kind of took my breath away! Be cautious of the heat. Here in southern Arizona, we've been in the 100s for the entire month of June. Monsoon is here, so the higher humidity adds to the discomfort. Grieving the loss of a loved one is a multi-layered process. As the years go on there is still the sense of loss, but the warm happy memories come forth and add a small level of comfort. As always, thank you for sharing a portion of your lives. Have a wonderful week!
She does have the nicest collection of sunglasses 😎
My deepest sympathy to Luca and everyone. I can't imagine losing my parents. They are elderly and I know it's a fact of life but I can't imagine it. Nicki your father is amazing, and I hope you have him around for a long time. You and Carlo are the best parents. I've been to Sorrento, I was there on 9/11 having a Caprese salad when the planes hit the towers, and I also went to Portofino & Positano for just a few hours. I was emotionally in a bad place, and I don't recall what I enjoyed about my visit. I have been to Tuscany a couple of times and also to the Region of Umbria. Orvieto, Luca, and Sienna were some of the towns I enjoyed exploring. I've been to Rome at least three times, and I love Rome. People stop me and ask me for directions, and I always disappoint them by telling them I speak Spanish or English. Nicki, Will you and Carlo also be growing your vegetables in Tuscany? You inspire me to garden I have a small patio but I grow herbs and some veggies. Hugs to Luca and his family...be well.
8:43 Holly...always smiling 🐶❣
Hello Nicki & Carlo 🙋♀️ I love seeing you out & about with your doggos 🐾🐾☺️
Love Carlo's comparison of Tuscany & Positano likened to children. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am going to be 60 years old in January, and I am growing my first ever garden this year
Some people are so terribly ugly and broken inside. I am sorry that they found your lovely channel and I hope that they get better someday - let the rest of us dance, work, grow and live and love in peace! ❤
Have a wonderful Sunday, always a pleasure to follow along with you two whatever your week may bring, it's a nice escape for me here on my little horse farm in East Texas. It's in the 100's here now and I have a small pool filled with cool water in my Big barn for two of my Big dogs Roy Boy and Blanca along with 3 big fans. I spray my horses off with the water hose twice daily. I have a smaller pool in front of my baby barn down here at the farmhouse for my 4 ducks, my 4 cats lounge on the back porch with the fan blowing on them and all always with 3 big bowls of fresh cool water. Federico Fellini Falbo (Rico) my little Rat Terrier who's 10, gets to stay in the house where he's always comfortable! It's a lot for me to take care of and it gets really tough when the weather becomes an issue summer or winter! My knee replacement has gone beautifully and I see my surgeon for the 6 week check up on the 3rd, he's going to be so happy when he sees my rapid recovery! I have my left replaced on July 22nd. After I get my two new knees I'll be able to travel to Italy and walk all over the place with no more pain! Yay! Ciao!
@@dannetterousseau4095 hi there! I have friends that live in Seguin! John and Marci! They've always wanted me to come for a visit! But I don't get to go to many places because I have so many animals! But my plans to travel to Italy are when I receive my dual citizenship. I've recently applied and will know more soon! It'll be a couple years yet before I can make the journey, but I'm really looking forward to walking down the streets of Sicily where my great grandparents are from!
I love these kinds of videos! I hope you all have a wonderful week!
Blessings to Luca , Carlo and all your brothers and Mama . Yes, it is hard, grief . Things fluctuate , grief fluctuates for as long as it takes. The loss of a parent never leaves your heart and as you said Nicki , often it surges back in a big wave ,at certain moments. Luca and Carlo being able to tell Papa what they were planting in the garden and suddenly remembering that their father has gone and they cannot share their day with him , anymore. All these daily activities are connected to love and loss.
Sadly we all experience the loss of our parents , it is hard and effects everyone in different ways. Grief is an individual path.
Sending love from the UK 😘 x Janette
So nice to see Skye and her partner……would love to see more of them❤
This 74 year old lady loves it on sunday to watch ur videos. And l love your new home too l too have been watching your channel for 4 years .Tomorrow is our Canada Day 🇨🇦 🤔. Pleas say hi to Carlo for me . See u next Sunday
“As long as it’s local, we know what we eat”. To true, love the simple wisdom❤️🦋🙏🏼
Thank you for another lovely Sunday in Positano! ♥♥♥
Nicki, I just love watching your videos. There is nothing like the Amalfi coast and having a regular reminder is such a blessing! I just had surgery today and this was the bright spot in my evening here in the hospital. I also purchased one of your sweatshirts just to remind me of the good life! Thank you so much for sharing your world with us! I love you both and enjoy hearing about your adventures ❤
It made me laugh seeing Carlo complaining about the boring passegiata with that magnificent view!!! Thanks for taking us along.
Nicki & Carlo. I also found your channel 4 years ago during the beginning of that difficult time. Just like Wendy said below you were a bright spot and allowed us to escape at least mentally. Since then we have been blessed to be able to come over and meet you both and we have even come back for more bringing our kids. We look forward to Sundays while we plan our next trip to Italy. Your channel is at the top of our must watch list every week. You guys are awesome. God bless you both and families
So lovely to escape to and visit your lives. Both locations are scenic and beautiful. Watching your weekly posts is like going on vacation. It's like visiting another world. What am I saying? It IS another world!!! Thank you!
I am sure the dog children love Positano ... they grew up here and love the sea...keep well ❤
Good point! 🌸
You know Carlo wasn't there because he was visiting with someone. Grief is difficult. There are many ways to grieve. The duration is different for everyone. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Sending hugs and prayers to Carlo and his family.
I think the garden misses Nicky and Carlo, it doesnt bloom as bright without you both😉 ❤
Another beautiful video. Thankyou from New Zealand 🇳🇿
8:43 Holly's sweet smile makes my heart happy.
Lemon Balm tea: remove the leaves from the stems of the plant, dry the leaves on a sheet pan. Boil the water and add the crushed dried leaves to the water and let steep for about 5 minutes for hot tea. Add honey if you like. I store the dried leaves in an air tight container for future use.
Huggggggggggggs 2 Carlo & Luca very sad & hurtful but I think that your Dad was so proud of his growing tradition ❤❤❤❤❤❤ He knew Carlo & his brothers loved each other. That is the best thing. A wonderful family ❤❤❤❤super huggggggggggggs. Thinking of you all
Ahh some relaxing time watching you ❤❤❤
Oh my goodness, those walks make me dizzy! I know I couldn’t do them. 😮 Hats off to the people who clear that rock. It’s a dangerous job. 👍🙏
So happy to have a new video. I plan to move to Montepulciano in a few years!
It is such a pleasure to share a bit of my day with you, Carlo and your cast of characters. thank you for so gracefully showing up the realities of life while also honoring what it means to be human and the ups and down that come with it,
So gorgeous!! Opening drone shots. Are magical. And shud be used on travel ads!! The garden brings my own memories of my grandparents around Naples. I can only imagine for Carlo n his brother there are very recent memories. Treasure. Them!! I send you both so much luv july blessings upon blessings ❤️🎀💖🌸💖🌸❤️❤️🦋🤗🤗🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋💜💜💖💖💖🌺🌺🌺😘
I love your videos. I am on the couch a lot with terminal cancer so I live vicariously through your travels.😊❤I’ve made my girls promise to go there some day, it just looks like heaven on earth. ❤ What a cute couple you two are as well.
Hugs to you
Hi Nicki and Carlo,
Greetings from St Augustine FloridaI, I love your channel and can’t wait for your Sunday video showing us your beautiful home and lifestyle in Positano and your new home in Tuscany. I have been following you for years and read your interesting book, looking forward to your next one. 🤗🌴❤️
Wonderful to see you guys back in Positano...so beautiful.
Love love Sundays do I can watch your vlogs I really enjoy them poor Lucas and Carlo it's so raw still with losing their father hope there Mum is coping.x
Lol first time getting to watch one of your videos seconds after it was uploaded!
Another lovely video of your daily lives in Positano. It always makes me smile, when I see a notification that your video is up. Thank you.
Mountain walk always been my fave one 🥰 Apricots look so delicious 😋 See you next sunday 🤍
My Mum planted an orange azalia plant in a pot many many years ago and it now stands outside in my garden in the same old pot and still flowers at the same time each year. I was feeling very sad about my daughter recently and i looked out the window to see the azalia had just begun to flower again. It was like my dear old mum was saying dont worry she will come back one day! Mums been gone since 2009 but the azalia keeps flowering and reminds me of her love of family🥰
Blessings to your family and hope happy memories will comfort you allways💞
Please make sure Luca knows that I am thinking of him. His garden gives me and so many of us in the world great joy. He is a gardener that nourishes hearts and minds worldwide. And bellies of his large family in Positano!
🕊️
Howdy Everywhere!😂I have been binge watching your incredible channel, as if I found boxes of old family films in the attic! Nicki, your talent touches my heart. You are meticulous in all your endeavors, just like your dear parents. You & Carlos are darling together! You have beautiful families and friends! I love how you have brought them into your life, to create a wonderful Village of so much love and security. I have shed many tears, as I traveled a lot with my folks. Your story of moving to Positano, resonates with me. You & I are so much a like, in that essence. Keep sending these moments please. What our World needs now is all this beautiful adventure, a whole lot of LOVE & Positano’s Boat’s Full of More Lemons! If we had to Climb a 1000 Stairs, with bags and pups, hang by a thread for Daily Walks and Plant our own Gardens…maybe we’d spend less time creating unnecessary turmoil in our lives and appreciate tender mercies around us! You are the Epitome of Example…”WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS, MAKE LEMONADE…OR LEMON TEA!” Thank You Darlings for Sharing your Life with Us! With Love from USA xoxo🍋🤍🕊️
I knew the reason the kids didn’t keep up the garden….. glad you explained for the newcomers.
To hear that Luca is really feeling the loss of their father was heart breaking. My heart goes out to you all. Thank you for your wonderful videos … you brighten up our days x❤
Nikki and Carlo another great video you always have a beautiful beautiful scenery 3 and in walking around with you you can always imagine you're just being there with you doing the hikes with the dogs your garden is always gorgeous It's amazing how much you grow of your own stuff I try not alboys produce but I try to grow vegetables and stuff that I like to eat and it's understandable if the kids don't want to spend their only day off in the garden cause that would be making them work 24/7 everybody needs time off everybody needs a rest And always your videos are absolutely awesome I can't wait to you put another one out next Sunday it seems such a long time to wait but it is well worth it Have a great day.
Last summer i was watching your videos and dreaming about those walks. Now i am in Netherlands and do this walks almost weekly. Thank you 🤗💚❤️
Thank you Nicki and Carlo for sharing your life with us. ❤
Mondays in NZ are better when we know we have your vlog to watch. Have been watching you for years and it’s our favourite time of day when we settle in and see what you and your family have been up to. ❤
Thank you for another wonderfully perfect video. The sound was perfect!!! ❤
I share in your heartbreaking grieving. My dad passed away in 2011 from pancreatic cancer. It is unbelievably painful still. I know though that he wouldn't want me to be unhappy. He would say "cut it out" in his gentle way. He was the most gentle soul. The most *chill* person ever. Memories live forever, visiting in our dreams.
Thank you for sharing your garden update with us. I find your videos one of the nicest to watch while I'm eating a meal, single woman here who likes to cook her own meals, not eat out. Your content always makes a good meal better and with all the calm in them, makes digestion unhindered by any negative emotions. Thank you.
The most waited notification .... I love your videos Nicki .... much ❤ from Brazil 🇧🇷 Gratitude 🙏🏻✌🏻🌻🇧🇷💋
I can identify with the falling rocks, here in the Pacific NW there are many mountain highways that experience rock falls, between that and snow fall the roads can be closed fairly often. My heart goes out to Carlo’s family, losing a parent is such a life changing event. My Mom has been gone for 10 yrs and my Dad for 1. Both fall in May, so this is a difficult time for me. I was very close to them and miss them so. Working in the garden reminds me of them, as we always had a big veggie garden every year. Make sure to trim your hydrangeas sparingly each year. The flowers come on the old wood the following year. I only trim the flower portion, leaving the wood (or stem) and am rewarded each year with a huge abundance of flowers. Mine bloom in blues and deep purples, love the, so much.
I loved those small bean plants . I thought there were only climbers. So much better. And those apricots!wow!
lemon balm apparently great for gastrointestinal problems, calms muscle spasms, kills bacteria, helps re menstrual symptoms too! Wow, I only make lemon tea, love from Kris in new forest 🇬🇧
Lemon balm is also good for the nervous system. Thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Nicki, you wear the most beautiful dresses! To Carlo and Luca and your family, I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad. I know people can say some crazy things, but I’m glad that it seems you mostly get love on your channel.
Sending lots of love and healing to Luca, Carlo, and all of your family. Grief can be a very lonely journey. The garden will flourish again in time. A lovely video x
Lovely video. So peaceful. Lots of love to you all as you continue to grieve. The garden is resting and showing you all how to regenerate and heal…. 💞
I am a European by birth but lived in Toronto Canada for 68 years. However, whenever I am antwhere in Europe I am home.
Seeing those gorgeous huge sweet apricots, I was back in my grandmothers garden, gorging myself on them, since WE NEVER GET THEM in my my neck of the woods.
It's a long weekend here in Canada and only 16 degrees calcius at my cottage, ridiculiusly COLD. LOVE ITALY, north to south, many fabulous memories especially on the Amalfi coast.❤
Fabulous as always , just came back from a visit to Positano , Sorrento , Amalfi and Capri , it’s the most beautiful part of the world . How lucky you are to live in such a beautiful place 🙏🏻❤️Thank you for sharing your daily lives with us all .
Thank you for taking us through the garden. I love your garden & enjoy seeing all that you grow.
You have a lovely family, and I appreciate you taking us along. 😊
I loved this video explaining things, showing us around, & explaining what is going on. Relaxed and just going about normal life. Beautiful drone footage.
It has only been 12 weeks since Carlo's father passed away. 😢💔
The family are sad & grieving. Sending Luca, Carlo and the whole family lots of love.
Perhaps the garden misses you both when you are away and the plants are sad because Carlo's father is in heaven now.
I think nature is sensitive, more than we tune into. And each season and the weather changes.
Seven years of plenty, seven years of famine as the saying goes.
No, lets hope next season will bear fruits and vegetables again.
Positano is beautiful scenery wise, but does have it's challanges too.
The apricots look delicious. I love apricot jam.
My partner & I just got home, we went to the Baltic sea for 4 days. It was spontaneous and very relaxing.
On our way home today we stopped at an organic strawberry farm. I picked my own strawberries for the first time in my life, lol, which was so nice, it was my happy place for a few hours & I will make jam tomorrow. Scones, butter, homemade strawberry jam with tea. Yum.
It reminds me of your dad Nicki.
Making jams. I hope he is well and your brother.
My back hurts after all the bending which makes me appreciate how hard strawberry farmers work.
Let us be kind to eachother, lift eachother up when times get challanging as we all have our ups and downs.
Being kind in the comments is our chance to be caring.
Good going on your book Nicki.🎉 I wanted to get to Positano last year in July to buy your book but our trip in Italy was cut short because our camper van was damaged by the devestating hail storm at Lago di Garda.
Maybe this year?
Glad Carlo is taking a rest which is good to see, he worked very hard in Tuscany.
Positano and Tuscany are beautiful in their own ways.
Sending you all best wishes and a very good week. See you next Sunday. Ciao. Love from Germany 🤗💞
My daughter and I were there last week. Beautiful place but I understand the steps. Wow. We took the ferry.
Wow beautiful views 🌻😎👍
I love that the dogs like to lie in the thyme. I bet they smell good. Your big garden is wonderful. I've never seen lemons as large at the one you showed! Love your videos.
Love seeing your videos. Grief isn’t an easy thing to navigate 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I understand how the brothers feel about the loss of their father. I was my dads companion for 12 years after my mom passed and i lived with him for the last four years.We traveled and did everything togeather.
Sending loving and peace-filled thoughts to everyone.
Completely understand your loss as we too are grieving the loss of our son Drew who died suddenly in his sleep March 9th. He was only 31, married almost 10 years and is so missed by so many. ❤
Good to see you guys again, another Sunday with you guys, which I look forward every week…until next week!
Thank you for showing us around the garden! I love getting to see what's growing at all times of the year. It must be wonderful just being able to go outside and get most of what you need to cook a meal. As a lover of Zucchini, those are absolutely gorgeous! The leaves would be great for stuffing with ricotta cheese and herbs, and frying up in a club soda batter! Buona giornata!😋
Thank you to both of you for this new video, I’ve never missed one and I always enjoy spending these moments with you ;-)
Having the two beautiful places gives you such a great choice, suiting your changing moods or needs when you wish…great !
This is one of my favourite kind of your videos. Friends, family, garden & home. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us. It is always a pleasure to "visit" you
Thank you Nicki, your channel has inspired my husband and I. We have visited the Amalfi coast several times. I am currently sat on my balcony in St’Agnello reading your book ❤
Huge hugs to Carlo, Luca, "mom" and all the family that lost the patriarch. So difficult and grieving is a personal journey. Ciao & hugs from Charleston, SC ~ Wanda & Vincenzo
This weather, all around the world, has wreaked havoc on our vegetable garden. Hopefully winter garden will do better than summer.
