Postcard from Latvia — week two

The warm welcome will always be with us.

We had a multicultural weekend celebrating @roobekeris ' half-Latvian heritage and my half-Italian heritage at two different events. Plus we started the weekend right with Pannetone and Prosecco courtesy of @marinomeatandfoodstore. Pannetone pic credit to @nonnasjudgingyou.

If you’re not sure whether chamber music can be exciting, go see the Skride Piano Quartet. Shows to come still in Sydney, Perth, Canberra, Melbourne and Hobart. Thank you @musicavivaau for #musictoinspire #chambermusic

Today at Osteria Oggi, Pirie Street.

Sharing a spot in the Aussie spring sunshine ☀️. #brothers #catsofinstagram #speedy #josé

This koala is sleeping in a tree outside our concert hall. I hope we don’t disturb him too much tonight when the Italian Folk Ensemble gets going... #koala #suburbanwildlife #adelaide

Happy 1st of November and happy Friday. Warmer weather this week has called for suitable bevvies. This Applewood Gin from the Adelaide Hills is a fine example of the genre. PS Where has the year gone? #fridayvibes

The rain has cleared and it’s a beautiful day along @goodwood_road. #Adelaide #spring

Raindrops on poppy #spring in #Adelaide

These things (amongst others) always make me think of Italy: blood oranges 🍊 (arance rosse) & loquats (nespole) in first picture and poppies (papaveri) in the second. While studying in Lecce a few years ago, my host family had fresh squeezed arance rosse juice each morning and bags of nespole from a nearby farming property. Spring poppies were a common sight when we left town to go on excursions around The Salento peninsula. Here in Adelaide we are lucky to have both - in my garden or neighbourhood. #memories #versosud #girolecce #italia #puglia #salento #adelaide
