Glorious.
It is a word true to its sound, both expansive and bright, reaching upwards. And that is the feeling floating through our courtyard these past few days. Remi and I – yes and the dogs too – are waking up slowly to the Spring that has arrived on our doorstep in full force.
Suddenly, everything needs to be clean, to be swept, to be made new in order to echo the sudden growth all around us. Finally, the rusty iron candelabra has been hung above our old teak table. We have been planting and repotting – including a new jasmine that I will watch crawl over our walls until it emits that sweet, true perfume that is most certainly…glorious.
This happiness.

I am sending out my Very Best Wishes to those of you that are celebrating either Easter or Passover this weekend. And Peace and Joy to everyone…
Hi Heather,
yes , I cooked two very simple dishes. Botargo spaghetti and
Prawns cooked in prosecco ( an Italian wine).
Botargo is produced in Sardinia from flothered mullet or from Atlantic bluefin tuna or even swordfish. It is called the caviar of the south .
I put some oil in a pan with thinly chopped shallot then I added strips of lemon peel and a ladle of spaghetti water.
I put cooked spaghetti in the pan and added 3 teaspoons of botargo. I mixed well and served hot . It was delicious!
Simple and easy. No Lamb for us this year!
I will cook them for you when you come here in Rome!
Have a nice evening my dear!
You know that you are always welcome to stop by the actual, not only virtual home, Ann! Especially if you call me "chère Bruyère"!! I love that. 🙂
It has been WAY too long since I stopped by your corner of the blogosphere, chère Bruyère! Your photos instantly cheered and soothed me! It makes me so happy to know you have such a lovely place to call home. I'll have to stop by more often. xo
I curse the French postal system. But you know my vote – please keep it for you!
I love your dogs names Elizabeth! What a mouthful to call them all at once! 🙂
Glorious visions for certain… I just got back to Eze and guess what was waiting for me? The bubble bath. Will try again, wish I had dropped it off just to see the beauty.
Heather, how wonderful to see your beautiful courtyard space and your beautiful pups! My pups, Pisa, Paris and Munchen are all sun lovers and move from spot to spot on the the back deck and then to the front porch as the sun moves during the day.
Spring seems as if it has been a long time in coming for us all. Thank you for sharing your beautiful places and spaces!
G, I can't help but contemplate this loveliness everyday! And as I consider you all my friends, of COURSE I want to share this happiness with you… 🙂
