When my American friend Bev sent me a message this afternoon to suggest a pausa gelato, it was a delightful surprise. Although Bev and I are old blogging pals - some of you may remember her blog Romancing Italy - we had never met before and I didn't even know she was in Modica! Now here she was, on the trail of a certain Inspector Montalbano, with her beautiful dog Tala for company. As you see, special ice creams were called for:
Bev tells me she will soon be starting a new blog and I'll tell you here when she does.
Thanks for the gelato and the company, Bev and Tala.
Fantastic Pat, so great to meet up with the person behind the blog ,, :-) and yes they certainly are special icecreams , I do remember her blog too, xo
ReplyDeleteAnd Simi missed out!! That's not fair! :)
ReplyDeleteSo nice for you both to have caught up, Pat.
Impossible to resist!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat for the company. It was wonderful meeting you. YOU are wonderful! Simi didn't miss out though...since there was profumo di Tala all over Pat :-)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have a surprise meeting with your friend.
ReplyDeleteHi, Anne. I'm sure Bev is happy that you remember her blog. Hi, Lee. It was a bit hot for Simi at that time of day but she had some ice cream when I got back! Absolutely, Claude. Thank you again, Bev. You are wonderful and so is Tala! Simi was very interested when I got home and told her all about it! She senjds love and wags. x Hi, Cherry. Yes, it was lovely.
ReplyDeleteWell the Gelato surely looks yummy to start... I hate to reveal my ignorance, but what are the black things in it after?
ReplyDeleteThey look kind of likee stones, or maybe shell fish and I can't imagine it is any of those things.
How lovely!
ReplyDeleteI am gradually working my way through the Montalbano books. I find them easier to read now I've seen the television series.
Grapes, Moggsy but I do see what you mean! Hi, Liz. Glad you're enjoying those.
ReplyDeleteYour health looks much improved Welshcakes.
ReplyDeleteThe ice creams look a little worse for wear ,mind. :)
Thanks, Uber. It's five years now since I was so ill. It's so hot at the moment that the ice cream melts immediately!
