I enjoyed the contrast of your peaceful nature walk to the urban scenes of Milan. I liked the small detail of the voice on the train making the announcement in Italian. Made me feel like I was traveling! It would be fun to see more of Milan, but no pressure, I like your videos anyway. Have a nice week ahead! Greetings from Oslo! Hope the cute one legged bird comes back to your balcony.

Hi Introvert, thank you for your comment! I actually live in an area where you can go from the quiet countryside life to the bustling city or, conversely, to the solitary mountain environments. I will definitely add some characteristic views of Milan from time to time. I'm also hoping the little visitor will come back. Greetings from Italy!

I'll share some views of Milan every now and then; there are some interesting and perhaps even more distinctive things to see than just the skyscrapers.

Hi Lara, the wonderful thing is that I can simply walk to that peaceful spot amidst the fields. I spent some time living in Milan for work, but I returned to the countryside as soon as I had the chance. While Milan certainly has its own appeal and some fascinating districts, I much prefer this setting. The little bird's visit was a delightful surprise; I'm usually too slow to even get my camera. Wishing you a wonderful week!

Beautiful. I want to say you influence my thinking about video production. I need to slow down. Your work is always meditative, in contrast to the frantic jump cuts we see everywhere (and I make too often). Thank you for that. My wife and I always enjoy your videos! 😊

Thanks! You're a talented musician, so you know that musical tempos vary depending on the desired effect. For example, Petite Fleur is 83 bpm while Take Five is 174 - obviously, the result, and therefore the listener's experience, will be very different. The same principle applies to editing. Sometimes I edit with very short shots, just one or two seconds long, but in these videos I'm letting the images "breathe". In other edits, the music takes the lead, but in this case, it's the visuals. One more thing: I often see edits synced to musical beats, like the downbeat in 4/4 time. It works sometimes, but not always - it shouldn't be a hard and fast rule. Just like everything else in video editing and directing, every choice needs to have a specific purpose. Warm regards to you and your wife, and thanks again for your comment.

Hi Rudy and Ms. Z, greetings from cold N. Carolina. We just had our first snowfall and another is expected this weekend. We are ready with plenty of food in the cupboard and wood for the fireplace. My passions are gardening and nature. At present, I'm researching the historical development of Japanese gardens and how I can apply the various concepts to a western environment. We'll see how that goes. I just surpassed 120 pounds in wild birdseed so it will be interesting to see what my feathered friends consume by winters end. Zaha Hadid is my favorite female architect so I will look up Gae Aulenti. Y'all stay warm, safe and cozy.

Hi Marilyn, we don't get much snow around here these days - it's quite rare now. Obviously, it's a different story up in the mountains. So if you've stocked up, I'm guessing you live somewhere pretty remote. Wow, 120 pounds of birdseed is a lot! In Milan, Zaha Hadid designed a skyscraper and a gorgeous residential complex in the new CityLife district, the other modern side of Milan. Hope you have a nice and warm week!

Hi Ina, thank you for your comment. I'm so glad you enjoy it as well. Regarding the little bird, I hope he returns, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to film him again. He's near the kitchen window, which I don't often look out of. These little birds tend to just stop briefly and then fly away, even with food available. But I think it's a positive sign, as it indicates they are finding food naturally elsewhere. The watercolors are relaxing for me too, and I'm looking forward to what the future holds. Thanks again and have a wonderful week!

I took up watercolour as a hobby a couple of years ago. I have a pretty good collection of watercolour paints and accessories now which I love as I get bored with sticking to one thing. I think my favourite, most therapeutic thing to do, is making up colour palettes and painting pages of swatches. Then I have a reference for when I do a painting. I also love photography and you can never have too many books! The little bird was so sweet and looked pretty content hopping around your garden. Another lovely, relaxing video. Have a lovely week.

The birds come to my alcove but they usually fly away before I can get the camera.

I've never heard of putting coocked peppers in a bag to rest. Does it hold in the juices?
@fifthfloorgarden
@fifthfloorgarden 13 күн бұрын
Hi Kelly! This is a little trick that not everyone in Italy knows about either. It’s specifically for recipes that require peeling peppers. You place them in the air fryer or oven without any seasoning for about half an hour until they’re soft. Then, take them out and put them directly into a tightly sealed bag, letting them rest for about 15 minutes. The peppers don’t release much juice. At that point, peeling them will be much easier. Let me know how it turns out if you try this method!

I hope you'll get the chance to try it here in Italy someday. I just discovered that on November 30th and December 1st, 2024, the Panettone and Friends Festival took place at the Arena Market in Berlin, organized by Italian pastry chef Giorgio Mecca, who owns a pastry shop in Berlin called Giomecca.

Hi! How are you? 😊 Thank you for visiting my channel where I share my simple life in a small town in northern Italy. 🏡 Wishing you a peaceful New Year! What are your plans for 2025? 🗓 Do you have any dreams you'd like to achieve? 🌟 I have added some useful information about where we shopped and the types of tea we purchased in the description.

Welcome to my channel, and thank you for your comment! I hope you’ll enjoy the simple moments I share from this small town in northern Italy. I’m not sure if you’re Irish too like your friend, but both Ms. Z and I are very fascinated by Ireland. We hope to visit it one day. As for Italy, it truly is a place with so many diverse aspects, with each region having its own unique characteristics. I hope you’ll have the chance to visit it someday. Wishing you and your loved ones a happy 2024!
