I'm addicted to crazy, chaotic art....wish I could paint!
@sandrat57.bsky.socialA party in the old school house in Colledimezzo. Most villages have a 'Pro Loco' group who arrange parties and events.
Who wouldn't want to live here?

@sandrat57.bsky.socialNot safe to be left alone!
How have I managed to live in four different countries...and still be alive?

September is my favorite month. Good things happen in September. My daughter was born over forty years ago, and last year...my latest book was published.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialGrocery shopping in Italy always brings a smile to my face. Great fresh produce, happy people, and fantastic shopping centers.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialPrayers were definitely needed to help heal the scars of my traumatic Tuesday!
Is retirement in Italy worth it?
Judge for yourself, I wrote a book.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialLiving in a different country means lots of bureaucracy, especially in Italy. Read my book to find out if it was worth it.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialMy beautiful village in rural Italy was violated a few days ago. A house broken into! So sad, and scary for the residents, most of whom are elderly.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialEarly afternoon in a tiny village in rural Italy.
There are less than a dozen residents, but where are they?
Maybe hiding behind shutters...watching the stranger in town.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialHere I am enjoying every day life in central Italy...yes, my retirement dream...even if it means the odd visit to my doc.

This person in my videos...the one I write about...it's me! Not my shadow, not my imagination...its really me!
@sandrat57.bsky.socialFinished my lovely day in Ascoli at a mouthwatering food truck. The aromas of porchetta, chicken, and Italian sausage were tantalizing.
Life is deliciously good in Italy.
@sandrat57.bsky.socialMy book 'Speak Slowly, Please I'm English' is the story of a Brit (me) living in America, and then retiring to Italy.
It is a goofy, fun...and sometimes tearful story. Things didn't always go as planned.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialShop till you drop...its my addiction! At 69 I should be over it...but I'm not!
@sandrat57.bsky.socialtravelwithsandra.wordpress.com/2026/09/19/b...
Talking Italian...I try! I practice every day, but I don't think it will ever sound good coming out of my mouth!
@sandrat57.bsky.socialWine o clock came early today....driven to it!
@sandrat57.bsky.socialOh those renovations!
Being bossed around by and Italian bathroom designer...and fighting back the best I can.
@sandrat57.bsky.socialCould this be a declaration of normality...did you read my book?
No one could every declare me normal!
