- Summer is ending in, Puglia, Italy and we are slowly starting getting back into jobs we’ve been neglecting in the heat, like our garden. As always we cook some healthy, inexpensive meals at home and we attend the big village festival to say goodbye to summer.
Enjoy

The quality of life over there is just so much more human-friendly. Slower pace. Time for friends, family and fun. Delicious, excellent quality food and beautiful ancient spaces with modern amenities. They work to live, not live to work. I'm glad you're enjoying your beautiful life.
I made the some of your recipe s ❤
@Reet64. I do hope you are paid so well to write this kind of comment. Or are you naive?

What do you mean amandine?
So happy I stumbled upon your channel. So relaxing and I adore watching other people day to day lives. Especially loving your pups, they’re so precious.
Thank you so much 😊
Simply enthralled by your videos!
Glad you are enjoying them 😊
Every video you upload has an air of calmness and certainty. All of you, are the best proof that the real meaning of life is hidden in little things. 🌺🌻 I love the doggies who are involved in every work you're doing! Nothing escapes them.💖Some of your decorative ideas, especially the white curtains blowing in the wind, could be a movie set, from where Sophia Loren appears and I like this sense!!!😍 Summer greetings from Athens.
Such a kind comment! Thank you, we are really glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Love your podcast! Your cooking and beautiful😢 meals are a highlight for me! I would so love for you to give recipes of your meals. Especially, sauces, breads and pastas. Watching this is as close as I will get to visiting Italy! You have bright it to me in a sweet and most sensitive way. Bless you two and your sweet doggies.
You have found a wonderful place to live. Thank you for sharing!
It’s a lovely town! There are many in Italy 🇮🇹 Very fortunate to be here
Simple pure beauty.
Beautiful church and great eats at the wine store. Great video thank you for sharing.
Welcome
I came across your channel today and it a delight to watch. It is a lifestyle I one day hope to mirror.
Stay blessed,
Zoe from London. XxX
Thanks Zoe! Glad you are enjoying the videos 😊🌹
Purselane is excellent as a fresh salad with tomatoes, olives....you can add anything you like or boiled and you add after little bit of garlic and lemon juice or vinegar, oregano...excellent and full of omega 😇🙏
YES! Not many people know of it and many consider it a weed but it’s so yummy. We eat ours in salads and I also make face masks out of it 😊
Thank you for sharing your daily routines. Love it. And yes, as an expat you always have to make an effort to meet people and build a new social life. 🙏🤍
So slow. So nice.
Thank you for another beautiful video❤
Most welcome 😌
Beautiful ~ thank you! ❤️
Heading to Puglia today!
Ohh... I do love the festival lights that they do down south.... lovely!
Us too! They are so pretty!!!
@@Maisondebase The best I've ever seen, quite elegant actually! I suppose after all those disgusting covid years all Italians must have a yearning to congregate once again and enjoy those precious local festivals.... may they last forever!
Thank you for your beautiful videos!
Very relaxing the summer evenings in Oria, and the food always yummi😋
Yes such a lovely and calm place 🙂
Puglia looks amazing. We’re heading to Polignano a mare next year.
Oria seems like a very nice town to live, love the peaceful ambiance, great food and a festival of San Leonardo (my husband’s name is Leonardo☺️). Great video like always, you really are inspiring me to move to Italy🤗
It’s a really lovely town we are so happy for the time we’ve been able to spend here. Really wonderful
Homemade meals are the best kind of meals. Thanks for sharing. I love your case iron pan. Do you mind sharing the brand or where you get them. Thanks
Yes most definitely ! The cast iron was found at a vintage market and we just cleaned it up ☺️
I enjoyned watching your video ❤
Thank you 😊
What beautiful creative food…….
I'll bet the quality and price of produce up north is freaking you out a bit. Systembolaget has to be quite a shock too. I have a garden rammed with fruit trees and bushes and a vegetable plot down here on Mälaren. It's bountiful, but the growing season is very short.
I graze the garden like a fiend during the summer, loading up on vitamins. And freeze a ton of stuff for winter smoothies to remind me of the summer while grinding through those long months of living in black and white.
I'm heading in the opposite direction to you two. Puglia is looking like home to me right now. I need to live in the sun and visit the snow rather than the other way around.
Everywhere is different and every place has its pros and cons, nothing to freak out about just different lives to live and experience while we are young and deciding on where we want to place our energy and money for our future. It’s all and experience for us at this stage in our lives and each adventure is leading us closer to who we are and what’s important to us ☺️
Puglia is very lovely but also the extreme like Sweden with its cold, Puglia is with that relentless heat.
Produce is good quality but also limited there due to the seasonality of the summer being too warm when everything dies off and many things can’t grow. Plenty of tomatoes and eggplant thought 😄
We all need to create our on paradise’s here on earth each and everyone of us because we’ve lived enough different countries now to know that no where has it all and everywhere is far from perfect, if we rely on someone else to create things for us or for some magical place to fulfill us, I believe we will always be slightly disappointed ☺️
@@Maisondebase Yeah, but. The basics. Food and wine.
I guess I hit these shores around about your ages. A friend told me then, and he turned out to be right, that it takes a couple of years for the novelty of a place to wear off. For it to transform from a holiday to real life. It’s when you start unconsciously chucking out anchors and running up against wheel chocks. When the roots start to grow, and you’re not going anywhere else soon.
While I think Sweden is the best place on the planet during May, June, August and September (July not so much). Maybe even October. That November to April grind has me pulling on those anchor chains every year. A month in the tropics in December/January helps, but a monochrome March/April is still a trial.
There’s just something about having to strap on survival gear to go and get a litre of milk. And the lack of friction.
My anchors have now loosened. Not fully, so I can’t go too far full time, but Italy’s been a draw. Puglia became an idea a couple of weeks ago, which made your channel appear. And you do make it look good. And while I am a total lizard when it comes to heat, maybe it is a little too desiccated. I’m popping down there in a couple of weeks to have a good sniff around and see how quickly I shrivel.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll keep an eye on your progress up there in the frozen wastes :-) Now back to those damn windows.
Oh most definitely there are so many different struggles here in Sweden, but we had other struggles in Puglia and in Portugal and Paris etc etc We have never made a place our full time home yet, we are enjoying exploring the options spending a few years and seeing what we like and what we don’t like by living it, instead of guessing or going on a short holiday and thinking that a place will be just like that, a holiday, we are very realistic when it comes to our big decisions in life and while moving from place to place seems like a big decision, to us it’s second nature. We’ve worked and struggled a lot in each place we’ve been in and seen the best and the worst of those places in order to be able to choose where we want to be more permanently as we get older without wondering, what if this or that….but until then we enjoy the adventure and the experience and see where our preferences take us 😊Hopefully you enjoyed Puglia.
What a good life!❤
gorgeous and simple festival of lights...nice community fun...dts/usa

Thanks for tuning in! Glad you are enjoying the videos. 😊
just found these guys. I've been living in Puglia over 20 years
👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
Such beautiful videos! What are your kitchen countertops made of?
Thank you! They are concrete 😊
I adore Italy and I have a grandfather from Puglia, and I fantasize living there. But I honestly don't know if I could bear having my entire sense of community built around exclusively religious festivals.
We aren’t religious ourselves so we find it rather fascinating how devoted some
Italians are to their religion and beliefs. We also know Italians in our town who don’t like the church also. Everyone in the world is different and has different values and ideas etc and no one ever tries to push their faith upon you here, so it doesn’t feel like you’re obligated to participate in that way at all. We enjoy the beautiful churches for the works of art they are and the festivals as community gatherings. Contrast and acceptance are what makes the world an interesting place if we were all the same it would be rather dull 🙂
@@Maisondebase Yes, it's that sense of acceptance of differences that I seek in a community to call home.
Do you menage to have some friends there too? I ask because I am an italian, end of 30s, in a big city in Germany and I find it really difficult to connect with people. I wonder if in a smaller, slower place it is easier or it is maybe my attitude that is not friendly enough. The only place where I still got the most of my friends is my hometown, with some rare exeptions. Thanks again for your beautiful video. ☺
Yes and no, I think it’s not super easy for anyone to make very close friendships these days but most definitely we have met and are friends with many more people than when we lived in Paris for example. Here it has been much easier to make both Italian and international friendships for sure. We work from home which makes things more challenging but we live in the village which has allowed us to meet more people daily ad we are always out and about. We also made an effort to join in on local groups and associations which allowed us to integrate more into our local neighborhood communities. You definitely have to make some effort but living in a smaller town definitely feels much more easy to make friends than the big city places we’ve lived.

Love!
Hi, we are in the process of buying a small farmhouse in Puglia. What do you guys do for a living? I see in some videos that you make such a beautiful ceramic art...
Hi! We do a lot of different things, ceramics, interior design, sourcing and decorating for others, property renovation consulting and finding, and our TH-cam channel. We also occasionally host events. Martin is a wine maker and sommelier but we are still searching for the perfect property for our vineyard…. Hopefully in the future we will have our own small winery and farm for all of the food things we enjoy so much :)
Beautiful
Can you share what's the rent is like there, how much it will cost to live things like that? Here in LA, you need to spend $2000 a month for 1 bed apt in dirty areas LOL
Yes so crazy in so many places now! I can’t say for sure exact prices as it depends on many factors about how you like to live but not too expensive in our opinion. For a nice larger city like Lecce for example a 1 bedroom apartment to rent might be around €700-800 maybe? You can always check out some rentals on idealista and see what’s going, not always easy to come by longer term rentals in Puglia since this area is considered more of a “holiday” destination but you should definitely be able to find something in the larger city areas for longer term. 😊
