half an onion chopped
half a red pepper chopped finely
half a Feta cheese cubed
half a cup of milk (cow, oat, rice, soya)
salt and pepper to taste
Lay the puff pastry in your quiche dish, in the paper it comes in. Put some oven paper over the pastry and pour in some baking beans, rice or lentils to weigh it down and bake it for 10 minutes at 200C
Break the eggs into a large bowl and mix them together. Tip in all of the other ingredients together, mix it all up and pour on to the pre-baked pastry (obviously removing the rice/lentils first). Bake for around 40 minutes.

OMG! I would never let those previous owners come back! They had their chance to get whatever they wanted the last time! They don’t have free reign over whatever they want on your property! You aren’t their storage facility!

[@Pam7555]

That's what I say! They should have taken all their stuff day of closing.

[@irenebrown8363]

Wonderful Sunday with you may I too say that years ago was in tuscany and walking in the hill and found shells too most unexpected indeed so the sea was indeed covered parts of tuscany may I give you a wonderful comment as your house really is becoming home indeed so well done the painting of the outside is perfect colour and the doors too so thank you for the time to share this vlog with us happy week ahead love all you do ❤❤❤

[@kohleennornes9944]

Right!?!? I’m in real estate and it completely boggles my mind that someone so late after closing can come and choose to pick up personal property they left behind.

[@AmmaLove24]

Absolutely! They had their chance, no access allowed!

[@tootsieb11]

Let's be honest, would you really be bothered coming back for a table umbrella? That said they left their tortoises to be looked after by you and took all the light fittings... I think I'd put the umbrella in storage with the rest of their stuff and if they've not come to collect it all within a time frame, I'd get rid.

[@rong3378]

You need to get firm with the former owners of YOUR house. Tell them that you aren't their storage facility. Anything left at this point belongs to you. And keep that umbrella.

[@historybarf]

Amen

[@TheRachag]

At this point that umbrella is abandoned

[@historybarf]

[@nevisscot7697]

I dont get why you even comunicate with them ...leave thei junk at the beginning of your long driveway .dont allow them near you....strange people

[@lindagaydos8618]

Do they see your videos and think oh that’s ours and we want it because you are using it? Very weird! That would never happen in the states. Once the property is sold and the previous owner has moved out that’s it.

[@belindawalker3120]

I think you need to leave the previous owners umbrella outside your gate and make sure it is locked so that they do not just come in and take more of your things. I am loving the outside colour you chose for the walls and I am sure that once the chairs have been upholstered, the patio furniture will look lovely. Thank you for taking us along on your idyllic days in the sun in Tuscany. I eagerly wait the notification that tells me you have posted. Indi looks like she is having so much fun runniing in those fiels, and I find the finding of those sea shells rather intriguing, imagine how old they could be. till next Sunday!!!

[@TheRachag]

This because they can’t come back. They’re done!

[@ruthahern8299]

Yes I thought the same about the Parasol, leave it outside the main gate and when they come back for it, which they inevitably will, just say “you can’t come onto our property anymore, the parasol is outside the gate, don’t come back”. 🤷‍♀️. Haha

[@anothercheryladventure9387]

Change the locks? You have been more then Nice. Didn’t they take your flowers? Keep the bars on the windows for now. In the US they are supposed to spell out what they are taking?❤

[@Kathyrawhide]

Absolutely in usa you don't reenter anything or you can be shot.

[@rosannarm]

@@anothercheryladventure9387 agreed. they shouldn't be allowed to come back anymore. Nicki and Carlo were more than patient and generous and kind to store their crap for so long (they should have charged by the day!). This is ridiculous. and I would let them know if they tried to take the umbrella hey you took our plants. bye and don't come back.

[@HappyLife693]

I know four of the reasons why Carlo loves Nicki, 1) She relishes completed projects. She will dig in and get dirty, but 2) after all she is girly and loves looking pretty, 3) she is beautiful inside and out, and 4) she loves Carlo dearly.

[@samanthab1923]

I had my doubts but it’s shaping up nicely. Can’t wait to see the finished product. I like the toile print.

[@melsbodysquad]

If you haven’t already I would change the locks on your house and maybe padlock the gates so that the old neighbours can’t just trespass whenever they want on your property. They will then have to contact the solicitor or estate agent to get in contact with you for anything that they have left behind

[@audreygatson932]

Can you imagine hearing those bells ringing. A joy to the ears!!! Beautiful country side.😊

[@sharonguimaraes2244]

😅Wow, the previous owners are very nervy. They should have taken all their belongings at the closing. Poor Carlo had to clean up all the mess out of your house and store their belongings and they took their time coming to collect it. Make sure they know to come at a predetermined time and not to enter the house if your not there. I'd change all the locks before a time is arranged and make it clear they need to take all while your both there , even if they don't want some of it they have to take it ,you should not have to have whatever they might not to take with them removed at cost to you. They have a lot of nerve, they made you wait over-and-over again before you could move in.

[@stj971]

I'd flat out tell them "Times up! You're done! Bye bye! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

Are thé laws different in Italy because I’m not understanding how the previous owners can continue to keep coming back to get things they left behind? In the US once you close on a property, anything left behind is yours or trash!

Your porch will be way more original & less contrived than any Instagram vision. It will one of the many serendipitous stories that will make your house your home; as well as highlighting your creativity, sustainability, hardwork & love for each other. The lighter paint colour in the furniture gives more of a welcoming look to the façade and (after seeing you fast asleep on the settee), the additional comfort factor turns a bargain purchase into something priceless! 👱🏻‍♀️♥️

The outdoor furniture will be totally transformed! A tip with Annie Sloan paint (though you seem to be doing just fine) is to spritz it with water as you apply it. It is deliberately made thick. That is why a little goes a long way. It seems expensive to us here in Canada but as you showed, it covers a lot! The house is looking so lovely! You two have worked so hard and done so much! Those shells amaze me! Where did all the water GO? And I LOVE that you can shop for fabric in an outdoor market!!! That's it! I'm moving to Italy. What a beautiful spot for a party. Ciao!

The property is SOLD! No to previous owners ‼️

[@katealison6087]

I love the colour you've painted the house, it looks amazing. I'm only half way through the video but just wanted to say "enough" with the previous owners. If they come and take that parasol I'll chase them away myself :) I would be tempted to get a pair of beautiful wooden security gates and take great pleasure in telling them to "bog off" if they attempt any further extractions. For me, that would ruin the whole vibe of a new house - not feeling it's completely mine because previous owners keep gaining access. It did actually happen to me with a house in the English countryside and I only lasted three years there because I never really settled. I eventually padlocked the gates to stop the previous owner visiting and taking things from the garden! Most people will probably cope with that better than me but you are beyond entitled at this stage to put a boundary down and some gates up!

My friends born and raised in Rome bought a house in Baltimore, USA. When they sold it, they did not move out immediately after they had turned the keys over to the new owner and were shocked when the police came by the next day and kicked them out. And at a time when I was looking for a furnished place to rent that was over stuffed with things, I declined to rent that property because I knew the Italian owner would never remove all of the extras. I also want to mention, of course just my opinion, but I have always known and felt that while the Region of Tuscany always gets a big buildup, in actuality the region of Campagna is more beautiful than Tuscany and for that matter, Abruzzo is too.

15:28 I agree, they look much better now. Way to go ❤ Waiting patiently for the reupholstered cushions. I just love toile de Jouy prints ❤

I am anxious to see how your deck furniture looks in the end. I’m sure it will be stunning. As for the previous owners everyone else has said it all. Just enjoy your beautiful new home.
