SUMMER DAYS IN ITALY AND ENGLAND| EP 197

[@vashti2389]

Nicki, at the end of every video you say, "thank you for watching." To which I mentally say, "thank you for sharing." I always have an assortment of different emotions when I watch your videos. Today's video made me tear up because my mother lives in another country, it's my birthday, and I wanted a hug from her. I'm 41 and miss my mom so much. So happy that I found your channel 2 years ago, thank you for posting. 🌍🌏🌎🇮🇹♥️

[@brendaanderson292]

Happy Birthday, Vashti🎂 Although you miss sharing your day with your Mum, I hope you have a wonderful day. Hugs from 🇨🇦💕

[@margoh3415]

Dear Nicki. I was only 21 when my Mom went to heaven. Missed her all my life. I truly feel for you and your Dad. She was a wonderful Role model and I assure you that she is very proud of you and is watching over Sky and all of you 💕 You definitely inherited her Beauty and smarts. Thank you for sharing the memories of your Mom , a beautiful lady 😘💕

[@americafirst9144]

Sorry you lost your mom so early. That must have been difficult. Sounds like she has been watching over you your whole life and made you the person you are today.

[@mf5531]

sorry for your loss. you will definitely see your mom again some day!

[@tracep81]

You were way too young to lose your mother. I hope you were well supported during your bereavement

[@LaReynedEpee]

It's an amazing revelation to find that your mother played an important role in so many productions we've all known so well. Through your own work you certainly keep her presence with us. 💕

[@santinadiponti6402]

Omg, what a wonderful episode. I actually choked up while you were talking about your mom. She was gorgeous just like you. Your father is a very handsome and distinguished looking gentleman. What an amazing couple they must have made. Memories are the treasures we have left from our lives. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@ameliafc1234]

Be safe , Britain is moving their war planes to civilian airport there, Russia and Ukraine are bombing nukes ,things are getting worse everyday shortages everywhere ..Enjoy watching your videos I have never been in that part of the world , lived in US. Virgin Islands for a few years I love the oceans..

[@Anouk1976]

Thank you for telling us about your Mom - she must have been an amazing woman! Someone once said: Grief is like a crater, a huge hole in the ground, dead and barren. But with time, each memory, each picture or story will be like a flower growing in the crater, until one day, altough still there, it will be filled with colours, laughter, love and life again. Have a safe trip back to Italy! Much love ♥️

[@suebrown4743]

Anouk that was a beautiful analogy. Thank you x

[@prrr446]

The shots with Holly on the front of the kayak are priceless. Dogs are the best company!!! Always living in the moment.

[@mlang3066]

Oh Nicki, thank you for sharing this about your mom. I have no doubt she was a fabulous Wife, Mother and professional. It shows in you… she would be proud! Every week, I look forward to seeing you and Carlo and Skye. Your videos are such an inspirating source of entertainment. Thank you for all you do.

[@WriterJenOnYT]

Thank you for sharing a bit of your mum with all of us. And thanks - as always but I don't say it enough - for taking us all on your adventures, in Italy, England, and elsewhere. I appreciate you, Nicki and Carlo!

[@annlevack8220]

Thank you for video I just love watching you all

[@claudiaulrich5445]

Ah Nicki, thank you so much for sharing this precious moments with your Dad, Englands unbeatable landscape and parks and the memories of your mom, I lost mine 4 years ago... a wonderful vlog, love it 🫶❤️👍🌸

[@kimberlymason7080]

AWE, Nicki, you have been so blessed with two creative and amazing parents. Thank you for sharing them with us! "A father's goodness is higher than the mountain, a mother's goodness, deeper than the sea." Japanese proverb

[@bbmcgee33]

My dad rejects his family and denies they (we) are related to him and my mother is a manic depresssive. Go figure.

[@GM-cq6ez]

A beautiful proverb, which reminds me of Petula Clark's song: "My love." (Another unbelievably great woman!)

[@NickiPositano]

Carlo here! for Kimberly, the Japanese are really good at proverbs! For bbmcgee33, not all donuts succeed with the hole! Ancient proverb used (I believe) throughout the universe! (I don't want to be numb, I just wanted not to be too serious, forgive me)💕😘

[@bbmcgee33]

@@NickiPositano Grazie Carlo! Non c'ho capito 'na mazza ma ti ringrazio lo stesso! 😂😘

[@fatimaa57946]

I was very moved by your mother's story...I lost my mother 18 years ago and I miss her. Glad you had great times and great memories for life. 🥰

[@GM-cq6ez]

I sense that Nicki's mom has never really left her. She won't have to wait to "see" her - she's still there,

[@bellebeauty67]

Strolling along an exquisite English estate, or kayaking in Amalfi these Positano Dairies have gifted me an enchanting mental holiday. Thank you Nicki and Carlo! Xx “We all learn to live with our grief and our loss.” Well said Nicki. I lost my Momma recently and miss our Sunday talks. You look like your Mum!

[@ninafodale]

I love that Holly is able to go kayaking! 😍

[@GM-cq6ez]

Holly has the most beautiful smile. So expressive!

[@sunnyrlc4411]

I am madly in love with Holly! Such a darling dog. She is always happy and content. If anything negative ever happens to her i just know I will cry buckets.

[@NM_AU]

Another wonderful video full of varied, beautiful scenery, music and our favourite characters 🥰 Thank you to Carlo for taking us along on his kayaking adventures (doing a great job with his English!) and always sharing stunning drone footage of Positano. It never gets old! Nicki - you’re truly a diamond - thank you for sharing the story of your beautiful & fascinating mum. We are most grateful to know more about her. She’d be very proud of you ✨❤️

[@tonip3469]

Your videos are so relaxing and so appreciated in this chaotic world.

[@ofeliamarulanda3034]

Beautiful tribute to your mother! I lost my mother 8 months ago and every day is very hard without her. You look so much to your mother. Is so nice of you that you visit your father very often. My husband and I will be visiting Positano in few weeks. We will try to visit the beautiful places that you show on your blogs.

[@barbaranielsen2888]

Thank you so much Nicky for sharing your memories of your mom, with us! I am so sorry you and your father lost her, so soon! Carlo, your English is very much improved, now! Thank you for sharing Italy with us, while Nicky shares England!

[@lindawentink2725]

So beautifully narrated Nicki. What a special time with your dad. Carlo , my daughter and I always explore early when we travel together, nothing nicer than those quiet streets🥰 Holly, she s one of a kind🤗

[@leonardniamh]

Holly is fantastic Adventure baby

[@JC-gf5vv]

OMG your mom was so beautiful. You can really see a resemblance to you in so many of the photos. May you continue to have fond memories of, and pride in, her life and accomplishments. It will keep her alive in your heart. Thank-you for sharing her story.

[@lanehartwell]

Thank you for being so reliable with your videos. I look forward to them and enjoy them more than anything on TV!

[@rebekahsalt26]

I really loved this particular vlog. Love all of them really but this was special. The story of Rachel / Rachael was so interesting and love the house. Talking about your mum brought a tear to my eye because I relate so well, my dad dying young and how it at first consumes us and then slowly we learn to live with it. Much love. And to your dad, he is extremely strong. Carlo was sooo cute on the beach with Holly. And funny as always talking to Elizabeth’s hb. 💜🦋

[@margoh3415]

So wonderful for you to spend time with your dad . Of course Indy loves Dad. Lucky Dog to get to travel . LOVE ❤️😘 from Florida to All 💗

[@justmaria5806]

N: Your videos never cease to amaze me. Sharing your life, friends and memories of childhood and your dear mother were such a gift. Thats what sets your channel apart. It isn't pretentious...... its real.

[@WorldWideWebObserver]

Hello Nicki & Carlo! Enjoyed the story of your mother, your childhood, and checking up on Carlo back in Positano. Missed an update on your father’s jam collection! Thanks for sharing bits and pieces of your beautiful lives.🌻

[@theresathompson5098]

We all learn to live with our grief and our loss. No truer words. I lost my mom this past January,and I’m so thankful for the photos and videos we have of her. Thank you for another lovely video.

[@doke889]

Nikki, your life story just keeps getting more interesting. My dad was famous in the music industry, my mom was nominated for Emmys, my childhood friend lived in a famous house. I can’t wait to see what surprise is next!!!

[@denasutera]

Precious story about your mother and why you started filming. Thank you for being vulnerable and trusting us with your story. What a beautiful tribute

[@wendydennis9127]

Thank you both for entertaining us again. Your Mum certainly passed on cinematic genes Nicki. I’m sorry you lost her so early but it sounds like she lived her life to the fullest doing what she wanted. Thank you for broadening our horizons!👏👏😘

[@jaymebuhl8892]

From a 64 old Grandma who lost my husband in 2005… I cried watching u talk about your Mom. My two sons and I realized how few photos we had of my husband because he was always the one taking them. We now make it a point to ask for help or do a group selfie. You have done an amazing job with your grief and I was just so touched. Thanks for sharing👵❤️

[@thelittleredtina]

I love hearing stories about your families and what interesting experiences they lived. They will never really be gone if we keep sharing their memories with others. My partner loves watching your videos along with me now also.

[@hairyscotman]

Your MOM was stunning....and you are her spitting image....what a blessing....thanks, for this Carlo & Nicki....another wonderful way to spend my Sunday morning!!! safe travels!!!

[@gerryingram7730]

Glad you were able to go home & spend some time with your Dad! What special memories you have with your family!

[@jamesromaine4321]

Nikki Thanks for sharing your mom with us. What a great person to have as a mom. Love the video from you and Carlos James

[@deanne9266]

Holly is a very clever dog. So special! My heart melts every time I see her.

[@deeoh3708]

I have often wondered about your Mum ... now I know how special a lady she was. Thank you for introducing us to her. She would be very proud of you and your family. Lovely video at the beach and in England.

[@sunnee63]

Love Carlo's Hello Everywhere Michigan USA t-shirt! (that's where I live!) Nicki's narration brought tears to my eyes. eta, loved hearing about your mom ❤

[@MsMariaSierra]

I write this with tears! I just lost my mom in February to Covid. I consider myself blessed to have had her so late in my life. She was 91 but so beautiful, she had been a beauty queen in Cuba and she still bore some of that beauty. I’m so sorry that you lost your mum so young (both of you). That you still grieve but were willing to share your memories speak of the strong woman your mum raised. May God continue to bless you.

[@Ambers_Team]

Has Carlos ever thought of metal detecting underwater in the little beaches he visits? Would be cool to find something old. 🤩 🌊🏺 Great video guys, thank you. 🙏🏼

[@kathewright5619]

Nicki, I burst into tears when you said your mum has been gone for 16 years and it seems like yesterday and a long time ago at the same time. I could never imagine being without my mother for 38 years, and yet here I am. My mum was British--immigrated to US after WWII. And I too wish she could have lived to see her grandchildren grow up--she knew only one of them.Thank you for telling us about your mum--she sounds like she was a 'force' and your love for her is a testament to her mothering.

[@dianegriffith3006]

Thank you Nicki and for sharing your mom too- I can see where you have inherited her looks as well as precariously her talents. This video was very beautiful and filled with love. ❤️

[@aileensteele7298]

The wild blackberries took me back to my childhood as we would pick them beside our mother, who died when I was 19. Thank you both for caring and sharing. This makes our Sunday. Mahalo!

[@janis6363]

Moms are so difficult to loose. You have shown her life of purpose and pride. She was a wonderful lady. Thank you, Nicki.💕🙏🏼

[@jennyoshea1958]

Very moving on many levels. Loved seeing you with your Dad, Nicki especially as this is my stomping ground in England. Losing your mum suddenly must have been very hard on all of you. She no doubt is looking over you all and very proud of your achievements. Holly and Carlo are a dream team 🤗 and the contrasts of two beautiful countries was a joy to behold. Each giving something special of its own. Beautifully narrated. Thanks for taking us along on your wonderful adventures. So refreshing 🌷🌻🌷🌻

[@terrievaughn2558]

Your video this week really touched me. Actually brought tears to my eyes. Your warmth and love of your family gently came through without drama or sadness but with real memories of love and respect for moments passed. Wow!! Carlos was speaking in English!! I love his drone footage gives us a clearer view of where and what we are looking at. Thank you for your kindness to your doggies they look so secure as part of the pack. I look forward to your videos weekly they are so special to me I share them with family & friends telling them this is where we are going on vacation!! “Ciao Bella” 🤗💕🇮🇹👍

[@divyas1937]

Terrie you captured so well what I wanted to say - it’s the lack of drama and the quiet dignity and strength and love that shone through. It is so rare on social media these days.

[@terrievaughn2558]

[@DIANEWEATHERFORD]

Thank you so much for letting us know about your mother and her career. She was beautiful and you do look like her for sure. What a grand life she had.

Carlo chats with everybody he meets, on the land, in the water. There is a sitcom in the U.S. called Everybody loves Raymond. In Positano, Everybody loves Carlo. 🙂

[@NickiPositano]

Thanks I really appreciate it, however "my" Sit com could be called "Everyone puts up with Carlo!😁😅😘

Loved hearing about your Mom. By age 49 I had lost both my parents and wish I had more photos and stories from them both. Enjoy every moment with your Dad and thanks so much for sharing.

Great video! Niki, thanks for sharing with us your wonderful memories of your Mom. Safe travels back to Italy! Carlo, we always enjoy your time at the beach with Holly-fantastic scenery! 🌴🇺🇸👍

Thank you for sharing your memories with us. What an incredible life you are a part of. Every week is so enjoyable to watch.

[@oanamanole9005]

I am definitely not crying now after hearing Nicki say she hopes she will see her mom again. It was so nice of you to go spend time with your dad. You never know when you're gonna lose them and regret what you could have done, but you didn't. Not sure why I can't stop crying...😭

[@blancaeisenberg4554]

What a gorgeous vlog! I Really felt like if you were existing in two different times, Nicki in England during the Regency period and Carlos in modern Italy. :0) You are a good narrator, a story within a story (thank you for sharing your mom with us) would love to read a book by you.

[@mfnannygram]

So lovely to hear about your mum, she sounds amazing. Definitely brought tears to my eyes. I still miss my dad after 18 years.

[@kayrichard4100]

The careers in your family are just amazing! Your mom was beautiful and yes, you look just like her. I know how hard it is to lose your mom. Mine died unexpectedly when I was 12…she was only 35. The grief changes but it’s always there. Thank you for sharing all that you do!

[@rickitait4110]

❤ here's to our mums! Always loved, never forgotten

[@potterkelly487]

Thank you! Great tribute to your mom, I knew most of the history from a previous video, enjoyed this one even more. Your Dad is amazing, hard living far away from family as we get older. Carlo and Holly quite the pair, Carlo speaking English was a treat!🇨🇦❤️

[@naomimoe217]

Thanks for sharing your Mum with us. What an amazing life she had. My mom died six years and while the grief is still there, I’ve grown around it. I just spent the weekend with her best friends and it was lovely to reminisce and keep her memory alive.

[@Jana-wz7dr]

Love this episode. Thank you both. Carlo how did you know we were all wondering if Holly was on the kayak with you. 😁 some lovely drone shots. Your English countryside walks and the majestic home you showed us are so lovely. Nicki you are so right. I just lost my mom a few months back and I realized recently I don’t have any videos of her. I am very sad about that as I long to hear her voice and her laugh again. So good for you, doing these videos of your dad and family will stay with Skye and her descendants forever. And Carlo’s son and his descendants. Thank you for sharing this private part of your life. Safe drive home.

[@user-mx6zc1lh2m]

I feel so happy and lucky to have you and your family and friends AND DOGS. IT feel like HOME, wherever you are. Thank you and Bless you. 😍Indie loves you - no wonder.

Such a contrast in scenery but both equally beautiful. Thank you Nicki and Carlo!

[@lanehartwell]

I cam back to add, what a lovely video! I loved hearing about your mum, what a remarkable person she was! I lost my mom at 27, and I think I miss her more now than I did in the first decade after she passed. The longer it has been the more I realize how little time we had together especially during me being an adult. Thanks for sharing that. Also, that house was really interesting. I stopped to marvel over that golden hood above the fireplace...was that the chimney? Amazing. Finally Carlo and Holly are so sweet together, I loved when she looked up at the drone.

[@trinahayden747]

A very lovely video..I lost my sweet mommy to breast cancer ..I have just a few photos of my mom…it so great that you have so many memories and yes it is so wonderful that you and Carlo now do this wonderful you tube channel …Thank you for sharing your wonderful life … 💜

[@jeweliedee4299]

Thank you, Nicki, for celebrating your Mom with us. You didn't make it sad at all, but we cried anyway. I am sorry that with a youtube channel it is difficult to have any private life at all. You have all these groupies wanting pieces of your life. Well, we love you and Carlo and your daughter as if we really know you. That is kind of creepy, but one day you will know how much pleasure and joy you brought to so many people. Your Mom was lovely and because you turned out so well, so centered and confident and normal, she, with your Dad, deserve a lot of credit. I pray blessings over your life and the life of your family and, indeed, there will be a great reunion in heaven.
