It’s that time of the year when Italy just about shuts down. The heat in most cities is just too much and so restaurants and shops close their doors while their owners head to cooler locations.
This post is to let you know that, like all good Italians, I’ll be closing the virtual doors to my blog for the next 6 weeks. While I am definitely in a nice place (Umbria) I’m not really on vacation. I’m busy writing away, and will be finishing both books! They are, for the most part, photographed, and now I just have to finish adding things like words. (!)
Since there are only so many hours in the day, I’m putting the writing of new blog posts on pause while I concentrate on those two big projects. I’ll be back in September. Promise. And in the meantime you can follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. When I’m not in my attic office writing, I’ll probably be cooking and eating zucchini and tomatoes so expect LOTS of photos of that.
Have a great summer, where ever you are!

Buona Vacanza – and happy writing – maybe we will see you in Todi……..
Good luck! Heard you on NPR the other day talking about coffee and the proper Italian etiquette for such. What fun to hear your voice again–your personality came right through!
Glad you heard it, and thank you!
Yep, I heard it too, it was a refreshingly happy segment from NPR first thing in the morning; I’m sure the NPR folks were happy to report it too, a nice break from, you know…
Admire them all so much.
Look forward to the books, as always!
thanks to the comment above — I am going to the NPR website to find the interview! Have a lovely break from blogging. I enjoy your Instagram photos and stories.
Enjoy your ‘ time off’.
We will be heading to Umbria and making full use of holiday time, a pool and your app! Only 2 weeks to go; can’t wait.
Buona Vacanza

Happy memories of Roma.
Hi. I’m confirming whether or not you are on Snapchat any longer? Don’t see any recent activity?😢
No, sadly, I’m not on Snapchat any longer. I just wasn’t getting many more followers, except for really creepy people sending me ickly photos. I’m not on Instagram Stories, though, and hope you’ll continue following me there: eminchilli
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Good luck with finishing your books, I look forward to hearing more about them soon!
Thanks!!
