I got back from work at 8.30 pm to find a carrier bag tied to the door. I knew it had to be from Lucia and inside was this bottle of oil made from her own olives. I could just gaze at the colour of it all night!
I had to tell you that we went to an Italian restaurant our last night in Paris and when I asked for some angel hair pasta covered in a bit of olive oil with garlic - I was told, "We don't have any garlic."
I thought at first my ears had gone bad, then I thought perhaps something was going on I didn't know about, so when I returned to the U.S. I asked my daughter the chef - "They must have been impostors!" was her reply.
I'm a sort-of retired language teacher from Cardiff, Wales, UK, now trying to make a new life in Sicily. I'm not growing vines, making olive oil or restoring a palace stone by stone!

Catching up as usual.
What a wonderful present to find!
What a lovely surprise :-)
Yes, indeed, WW. Hi, Lucia. I think so, too. Ciao, Lady M. Love that story and your daughter's reaction! Hi, Liz and Cherie. Yes, lovely.
