These are some of the posts which I’ve enjoyed writing and others tell me they have enjoyed reading. If you’re looking for a good place to start at DLaM (that’s Driving Like a Maniac for the confused – hello, Dad!) then these posts are the ones I’d recommend. Gulp.
Something to Believe In, in which I rediscover my foodie roots.
Too Young to Die, in which The Divine Comedy remind me of the day I moved to Italy.
Saints and Sustenance, in which Catania’s patron saint, Agata, comes out for her annual journey around the city.
In the City, in which I am frightened.
Perfect Weekend Recipe, in which everything you’ve ever imagined only to happen in films actually happens.
Pet Sounds, in which I listen.
Children of the Corn, in which I get lost in the bulrushes and almost drive into a stream.
Head for the hills, in which we run away to the mountains and wear meat hats.
Noah’s Rover, in which we attempt to turn a car into a boat. I’ll give you a clue: it ends soggily.
Let the train take the strain, in which I fail to find the right platform, and am covered in coffee.
When I was two, I was nearly new, in which I make a new friend. So what if she’s only two and thinks I’m an idiot?
On winning at Gallipoli, in which I *almost* become a football fan …
Viaggio a Vieste, in which I travel by spaceship. (Well, all right, it’s not a spaceship, but it *looked* like one in the early morning mist.)
Fruit Salad, in which I stick to what I’m good at and cause anarchy.
Roll up for the mystery tour, in which I travel by regional train alone for the first time, and encounter the kindness of strangers.
Well it was bound to come up at some point, in which I discuss religion and get myself in a bit of a pickle.
The Motorcycle Diary, in which I discover why Italians always wear sunglasses, and why you shouldn’t ride on a motorbike in a minidress.
