A look back over 2024, with a selection of posts unlocked (Happy New Year!) so everyone can see the sort of content they will receive if they sign up to become a paid subscriber.
Such a wonderful read on the last day of 2024 - I want to forget about the rest of the year as health issues have dogged this particular leap year! Anyway, I have just spent a couple of hours clicking and reading all your posts for each month and I loved everything (next stop La Redoute to look at the rugs). Many thanks for keeping me company since I subscribed (best present to self of the year) and also making me smile when I read about your challenges around your 3 kilowatt shock in Turin, I ‘ve lived in Italy for more than 40 years and have become an expert in not boiling an electric kettle if the oven or dishwasher is also switched on! Will I ever get around to doubling up (consider the madness, I rent out a flat to students which was immediately upgraded to 6 kw before they even arrived) only time will tell!
Happy 2025 Kate and as this year brings me to a massive renovation project in Rimini I will be a very faithful reader of your brilliant Substack which India Knight introduced me to through her Home Substack.
Ciao carissima and here’s to colouring our ceilings
You were a busy bee during the year - not something one notices so much until you do a yearly round up like this! Thanks for all the great content you have shared with us. I came from your brilliant blog and at first I was an unpaid subscriber as I felt a bit miffed at having to pay after reading your content for free on your blog. But then I missed your posts so I decided to cough up and I’m so pleased that I did!
Happy New Year and here’s to a great 2025 for us all!
Yours is one of the very few subscriptions I've kept on auto renew. I love your style and shares, and we both have homes in Piemonte ( we just bought a second fixer upper in October, a village home with alp views). This new place will house my kiln ( I do have a story of bringing a 20kw front loader to Piemonte that made the Enel guy do the sign of the cross and say "that's enough power for a small city"🤣) and my art studio.
