Sorry, but I cannot do anything about this. All the things that i have wanted to eat lately are small snacks and more importantly, they must be quick to prepare. I therefore apologize to those who live in Australia or elsewhere where it is not summer time, but here [...]

In these days we’ve been swimming at the  Allerona village pool. The pool is not bad at all, it’s big enough to do serious swimming and the beauty is that it’s surrounded by vineyards. The only problem is that if we want to swim and have a [...]
