I think I am the type that would force myself to get up for half 4...and I am in no way a morning person.<br /><br />I love that bread made into rings. I can never remember the name but ate a similar sort all the time when I lived in Puglia in the mid 80's :)Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12477812986531102750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-34091471691544430812012-06-19T05:31:21.978+02:002012-06-19T05:31:21.978+02:00I love the photos!

Funny, how many celebrations or festivals, in Italy, start off as being religious and than end up very more like Pagan festivals, than Christian celebrations! But that is just how we like it, Like Lorenzo il Magnifico (De' Medici) said , in his "Canzone di Bacco :" Chi vuol essere lieto sia, di doman non c'e` certezza!"... Carpe Diem! It's our motto!<br /><br />CIAO!<br /><br />ANNAAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531642906387702641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-33287340485509808522012-06-14T22:47:56.942+02:002012-06-14T22:47:56.942+02:00I much prefer these photos to the collage so I am ...I much prefer these photos to the collage so I am happy you have not the time :-) Love your header your garden is way ahead of ours.

We rather like the idea that time honoured events continue to be practised as it gives a reassuring comfort in these times of ours which seem to be about constant change.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-72963394479763201502012-06-14T17:58:26.232+02:002012-06-14T17:58:26.232+02:00Wonderful, wonderful, muto bella!
