On Sunday Fra and I helped his nonno and nonna. They went to Liguria for some weeks, to enjoy the beach and have a little vacation. As their son is a priest they can stay in this really beautiful and nice house for priests in Santa Margherita Ligure (just 5 km of the known posh place Portofino).
We helped them to carry the bags, set the beds and then they took us out for lunch as a thanks. Isn't Fra's grandfather a very handsome man? I love this picture! He is also a real gentleman, always kissing me on the cheeks and always wearing a suit and a hat :)
Here, in the shaddow, we had a nice lunch.
Nonna Rosa, the grandmother, is one of my favorite persons on earth. We became best friends after she had had a few serious conversations with me to check what kind of girl I am. It was a bit weird for her in the beginning, this nordic girl who just comes to study to Italy, not going to church every Sunday and living without her mother and without helping with household works back in Finland. Actually, thinking back... I think she approved me after she saw the winter hat I knitted for Fra. "Are you able to knit???" she said and gave an approving face.
She also has the best manipulation skills. We had a bit of a cocky waiter in this place but nonna Rosa handled him so well. She grabbed his arm and touched it and asked with this angel face for her special order.
Anyways, Santa Margherita is a beautiful sea place and it was nice to spend a few hours there on a Sunday afternoon.
