Baby shower

The baby shower....My mom organised a beautiful baby shower for me on a Sunday afternoon....the theme that i chose was "Bee", cause i just love the colour yellow and thought that would be nice....so it was a baby shower with the theme "mom to Bee"......

My mom did an amazing job, the table with all the sweet looked amazing, from honeycomb to liqorish to yellow cupcakes, white lindt chocolate balls.....just so divine.....my Mutti (gran) and me decided to help out with the savouries...from quiche to "chaes-chuechli" (savoury cheesecakes) to a huge cheese board divine....

Savoury table
Sweet table
Fill your own bag to take home
Delicious treats
Cupcakes in various flavours

It was a chilled afternoon, with lots of chit-chat and me and the baby got very spoilt....clothes, face cloths, creams etc etc.....i had picked at baby city what i wanted and loved receiving all my presents.....also mom asked each lady to bring a bag of diapers which was great....good start for us......

Podere il Casale

Beautiful place near Monticchiello in the Southern Tuscany. My parents, together with Mutti and Sofia went there whilst Kim and I were in Corsica. They raved about it, stating that it was Swiss owned and they met the couple who owns and runs it. They are actively involved and so are their children. Their food is produced on the farm, they are famous for their Pecorino cheese. They also offer Pizza and bread courses, camping etc etc....in fact i was really looking forward to visiting this place. They have outdoor and indoor seating but i must say the outdoor seating cannot be compared to the indoor hall. The outside is quaint, picturesque and has breath-taking views. There is quite a long dirt road following up to Podere il Casale....its not so easily found. The sign at the entrance is also not too good. Once we parked a beautiful sign welcomed us....let me share a pic... Podere il Casale As mentioned the place was quaint and picturesque with beautiful laid tables....and a fabulous vi...
