première plage 2025

Tuesday 29th April 2025

The beach, how amazing always!

Tuesday morning, the three of us looking for a good spot on the almost empty beach.

Sheltered from the wind behind the white beach houses near the dunes.
Many walks to the coast to look for shells.
Picnic on the large beach blanket and enjoy this beautiful spring day that felt like summer.

summer beach stripes on the daybed - new burgundy & blue cover

Summer beach stripes on the daybed.

The vintage bamboo daybed has been in our living room for 10 years now, i had to look that up in my blog archive ;)
Of which 5 years with the cover I've made from moroccan vintage Berber blankets.
High time for a new outfit, sunny stripes! It reminds of warm summer days, with sandy beaches and fresh sea air.

... and we borrowed the smaller striped cushions from the other sofa.

magica domenica mattina

Bologna - domenica 6 aprile - 9877 passi

We had decided to set the alarm early on Sunday morning, so that we could make the most of our last day in Bologna.

Having a coffee before breakfast on the terrace at Bar Vittorio Emanuele overlooking an empty Piazza Maggiore. È magico!

See the city slowly awaken and visit the Basilica di San Petronio even before the 9 o'clock mass.

One more walk through brilliant colored Bologna and its under the alluring arched galleries in the beautiful morning light with long shadows.

Breakfast at Hotel Internazionale and back to the airport by monorail.

How this charming city surprised us and I can say that Bologna has definitely entered my top 3 of Italian cities.
