Ti ho desiderato tantissimo, e amato molto di più.
Non credo che ci siano parole per descrivere questo senso di vuoto. Ma nonostante questo buco in mezzo al cuore che toglie il respiro… sento tanta gratitudine.
Per ogni istante trascorso insieme,
per ogni tua coccola…
buon viaggio mio piccolo fidanzato, amico insostituibile e guardiano di sogni. Buon Ponte 🌈

I don’t know about you but I’ve always found January to be a difficult month! I’m always sleepy, hungry and cold!! Luckily I don’t lack the desire to cook! Breakfast is my favorite meal, and I like it to be different every day! Like many of you, after the holidays, my goal is to lose weight! 🤣 So... Mini chocolate pancakes, ricotta, homemade granola and strawberries.

Facevamo finta di niente.
Parlavamo di tutto fuorché di quello.
Ma l’abbiamo sempre saputo.
Avevamo trovato le stelle, tu e io
E questo capita una volta sola nella vita.
Buon Anniversario ❤️

Back home after a long Italian holiday full of deliciousness and carbs!
I think I ate my body weight in agnolotti and little patisserie. Just to say, this morning I was not brave enough to check my weight!!!
For lunch today a salmon poke bowls that was a powerhouse of nutrients! Packed with Omega-3 fatty acids for heart health, protein for muscle repair, and a rainbow of veggies for vitamins and minerals.
Thanks to for the inspiration and look forward to see you in your new restaurant in Tunbridge Wells.
