| In January, I turned 40. In Flemish, they say you get 'a new front door' when the first number changes, so basically every 10 years. I wasn't looking forward, but in the end it wasn't that painful at all ;-) |
 |
| I started my day by having a haircut... |
 |
| Flowers arrived, gorgeous earrings from my family and lost of other gifts from friends and neighbours. |
 |
| A drink with the girlfriends... |
 |
| At the end of August, we finally took a family trip (the 4 of us, without Remo's computer!). On the way to the campsite on the Etrsucan Coast, we stopped in Pisa to show the kids the leaning tower. (28/08/2015) |
 |
| Our home for the week (Mulino a Fuoco- Vada) |
 |
| Great swimming pool on the campsite |
 |
| only a short walk from the tent to the white beaches of the Etrsucan Coast |
 |

 |
| Day trip to the city of Grosseto (02/09/2015) |
 |
| On the way home we stopped Park of Pinocchio in Collodi (03/09/2015) |
 |
| Summer for us started (as usual) on the beach of Cesenatico |
 |
| On the 14th of July, however, Auro fell and broke a little bone in his elbow. He underwent an operation and after 3 days at the hospital, he was released with a rather heavy plaster cast. |
 |
| We got him a sling to help him carry the weight for the next 5 weeks. |
 |
| And so life more or less continued as before.... |
 |
| Castle of Borgo Fornari (Ronco Scrivia) |
 |
| Out of boredom grew the idea of making and selling bracelets. Something that would keep us busy the whole summer. |
 |
| Visit to the caves of Toirano (02/08/2015) |
 |
| This year we finally got seats to the much talked about Sagra del Minestrone of San Martino di Paravanico, which is basically a dinner that starts with the Genovese style minestrone soup (vegetable soup with pesto). The local women get together 3 days beforehand to cut all the vegetables. They then let the soup simmer for many hours until it reaches the uniform consistency you see on the photo. It might not look very appetizing, but the taste is absolutely spectacular! (05/08/2015) |
 |
| And back to Cesenatico beach for the festivities of the 15th of August... |
 |
| Big day for Auro. |
 |
| And off it goes!!! |
