Have a walk through the wonderful Tivoli Gardens i Have a walk through the wonderful Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen with me @tivolicph !Confirming my theory that all good things come from spaghetti, the original Tivoli is in fact near Rome. According to the legend, Georg Carstensen the founder of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, was so smitten with the beautiful Villa D’Este in Tivoli (Lazio) @villadestemibac, that he decided to recreate something just as splendid in his hometown. And didn’t he succeed? ;) #visitdenmark #visitcopenhagen #cph #denmark #scandinavia #copenhagen #tivoli #tivoligardens #villadeste #italiansabroad
Everything you see, I owe it to spaghetti, but to Everything you see, I owe it to spaghetti, but to rye bread too. Although I’m a born and bred Roman, my mamma is from Denmark, and I’ve spent many a happy summer (and Christmas) in this wonderful country. Covid, lockdowns and life in general made it hard to fly over in the past few years, but I was lucky enough to come back to see family and friends over the weekend. It was blissful, and I am so grateful to be able to belong to so many places. It truly is a gift ❤️🌸🇩🇰#italianabroad #danish #denmark #bilingual #visitdenmark #familytime
Wedding season has officially started here in Scot Wedding season has officially started here in Scotland 🌸 Time to dust off our wedding guest outfits, and as always, remember that the most sustainable clothes are the ones that are already hanging in your closet.

This is me and my gorgeous pal Jo sporting entirely sustainable outfits - Jo’s dress and shoes are several years old, and her fascinator is a Vinted find. My dress and my jackets are also several moons old, and I’ve worn them for countless occasions. My bag was a gift from my beautiful mama, and the shoes were a miraculous find from eBay.

A post to celebrate Scottish spring produce 🌸 A A post to celebrate Scottish spring produce 🌸 A couple of weeks ago we foraged some wild garlic in @dalkeith_country_park and today we used it for a pate with kippers from Montrose, and spring onions. Served on toasted sourdough bread with free range hard boiled eggs, a side of salad, and stewed rhubarb and ginger from the fabulous @thefreecompanysco . Absolute brunch perfection 👌#eatlocal #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #foraginguk #foraged #scottishfood #scottishfoodie #scottishspring #visitscotland
