THE POSITANO DIARIES - EP 32 2 Evenings out and the start of the tomato harvest!

[@Zarih67]

Aw, there she is. The little sweetheart. ❤️ A Holly a day keeps the doctor away. The flowers and scenery are stunning!

[@karenjardine2073]

Awe

[@mareabrown565]

I love your videos - they're so uplifting. I also love the relationship between Carlos and Holly and also loved it when your friend's little girl was stroking Holly under the table and how happy they both looked.

[@michelleellis8201]

It just amazes me how well Holly rides on the scooter!

[@angelrose7906]

I know. It's a worry. I hope she never falls off.

[@lanasullivan5113]

I keep forgetting to tell you how much I love the new gate. Carlo is a real artist and craftsman.

[@karentozer1871]

The smell of tomato leaves/plants takes me back many years to my grandads greenhouse, sadly he’s no longer here, but that smell evokes such memories for me xx

[@zina6653]

Your videos are so relaxing and comforting to watch. So much better than watching the news here in the US...very calming,for me..thank you Nicki🤗🌸

[@ginakleinejaeger4997]

I SO agree! I’m thinking to cut the cable. I have found some awesome content on KZbin. This is one of my favorites. I started watching sailing channels having grown up on the water. I have never seen such unbelievably beautiful scenery than I have in Nikki’s vlogs.

[@tinabailey4083]

Can’t get enough of your videos Nicki, soothing and helps me decompress from a long day. Loving all the adventures or just a tour of your garden and surrounding areas. Thank you for all you share. Very enjoyable 💕

[@priscillachapman9145]

I’m watching this 2-16-23. I love all the flowering everything you show. It’s Feb in Ohio USA. Mainly gray with bare trees and no flowers yet.

[@Smartgran]

Nicki, I've just had a brainwave! How about you do a book about a year in a Positano garden? It would be amazing. You could illustrate with pics, do a narrative style with Luca and Carlo contributing easy to understand descriptions of what they're doing, naming plants like the different tomatoes planted, showing how they do the smallest things. Also, you could talk about the weather (everyone I know talks about the weather!) What do you think? I would buy it.

[@lizzieloum19]

Good idea Jan, would buy this for sure 👍

[@NickiPositano]

Thank you for the idea! I already have a few book plans in my head!

[@Chris-Roberts]

Great idea a lot of work though 👌

[@neilhorner9197]

Good idea. I would definitely buy that book

[@watcher223]

The tomatoes brought back a memory of our first visit to Sorrento. The pool has a salad that included tomatoes. The sweetest tomatoes I had in a long time! So hard to pick a favorite part of this video. The whole video was great! So nice to see “normal” in society. Well actually “almost normal”. Cannot wait until the USA makes it to this level.

[@umbertostabia]

Very nice tomato of Sorrento , is the same she have in the video.

[@ciaobella8963]

I live in a hillside borgo and my garden with a few olive trees is terraced. My knees have been battered over the years (dancing, car accident), but a couple of months ago I was in the garden and slipped on wet grass, grabbed the stone wall to not fall, but twisted my right knee in that "save" maneuver. It is taking forever to heal. Our knees are our weakest place on the body with the lower back running at second place. Still, I walk slowly up and down all the village steps with my groceries, as well as the stairs in my house. Piano, piano. Slowly as you go Nicki. Take care of your knees. I say this at 72 and being an active and healthy person. But when the knees hurt, it puts a serious crimp on things. God bless.

[@NickiPositano]

Here many people end up having to get knee replacements as the amount of steps we climb every day ruins the joints. Please take care in your garden Janice xx

[@brendakipkemoi2738]

The scenery in Positano is so good for the soul. Can't thank you all enough for showing us these snippets of your life. Absolutely beautiful.

[@mwengwempekansambo1466]

I have binge watched your videos since KZbin recommended them last evening. You deserve a gold star for top tier content!!!

[@carlotapedro6695]

Very very beautiful place....so romantic looking in the morning and evening...beautiful flowers

[@marywilhelmy1935]

How fun taking a daily holiday to Positano with you, Carlo, Holly, family and friends. The warm personal interaction is a great addition to the already natural beauty of Positano. Funny as your mention of knee pain in this video was something I thought about last week if in fact I lived there the steps would be a big challenge. But you are still young, and I am not. You give me the pleasure of not having to take all those steps. Thank you for your kindness and may God continue to bless you, yours, and Italy. Ciao Amica!

[@NickiPositano]

Thank you!

[@rsoubiea]

I love that Italy had the same flora as we do in California. On my property I have jasmine, oleander, crepe myrtle, lemon, my neighbor has a huge prickly pear cactus that must be 50 years old, apple trees, almond trees. That’s one thing I will miss about leaving California, but it’s a adventure!

[@tinabailey4083]

Wow, that potato vine is beautiful, who’d have thought!!

[@Chris-Roberts]

Loving the regularity of the uploads Nicki 👏👏👏

[@dreamingswiss8560]

I always look forward to your videos every week! When i see a new video up while on my phone, I wait until I get home and watch it on the television with my feet up. I just want to thank you for sharing your days with us. I'm sure I can speak for everybody who follows you when I say we appreciate you Nicki! 😀

[@NickiPositano]

Wow, thank you!

[@lesliehardin7963]

Always love seeing Carlo, Holly, your daughter and the kitties but I always forget to give Luka a shout out. He seems to be a good sport about you always filming him with his pants hanging down. He is lovely, please let him know. And obviously a hard worker like his brother huh?

[@NickiPositano]

You have no idea how often I have to change angles to avoid his bum!

[@roseannef1755]

@@NickiPositano so funny !!

[@marias8007]

everybody works so hard, it's inspiring

[@cryslynnstalents2647]

I've come across your channel and binged watched hours of it while being stuck in the house by an ice storm..I really enjoy your vibrant personality Nicki. My suggestions to Carlos " Hurry up and Marry Nicki before another one comes along to swoop her up off her feet to spend the next 20 years with her." 😍

[@phylholmes537]

It is wonderful to watch life in Positano being like it used to be, albeit without thousands of tourists. It is almost like Covid-19 doesnt exist. Here in South Africa it is bad, how we miss socialising, family get togethers, etc., as we are still in lockdown since March this year. I love your videos as they make me feel like I am there with you. Keep them coming, I am so looking forward to being able to plan a holiday in your lovely country again.

[@lindaf4103]

Love the American Beauty in tomatoes. I like using the tomatoes stems in sauces to add their lovely fragrance.

[@NickiPositano]

Sounds great!

[@kathymccormick9174]

I’m so jello, it looks absolutely devine in Positano and I’m loving being able to see it from my lounge room in Australia, wishing I was there ! From the potato blooms (which I’ve never seen or heard of) to the tomato set up and the pizza on the beach. Thanks Nicki ☺️

[@lilyakopyan6153]

Thank you Nicki for delivering another beautiful video. I watched it with a big smile on my face the entire time. Just lovely!

[@1958pobs]

Beautiful again! I was gasping at every shot, especially the tree covered so artistically with the potato flower vine, it did it perfectly! We are have had and are still having such amazing weather here, that I could pretend if I squint, that my back garden is a part of positano 😃 and I’m on holiday! Oh, can I ask, if holly ever falls off the scooter? It is totally amazing to me that she happily hops on, for the family outings.

[@NickiPositano]

She jumped off once to chase a cat!

[@veronicas8253]

I love the way Holly jumps on the scooter 🥰she knows the routine. Has she ever fallen off?

[@NickiPositano]

Once to chase a cat!

[@rebekahsalt26]

Nicki Positano haha. Sometimes when I watch her on the scooter I think of her in a kind of netted shopping bag hung from the handle bags so she’d swing, but not fall off.

[@rebekahsalt26]

Handle bars, not bags. Lol

[@rsoubiea]

Holy needs a tricked out basket to ride in.

[@skyeseaborn1170]

So beautiful! Thank you so much for making these!💕

[@leerobins749]

Another fun video..you have a good ,good life,you and Carlo..you get on very well..I couldn't bare to walk up those stairs at the end of the night ..I would stop and make a little bed somewhere..

[@anneforster510]

Every time I see one of your vlogs Nicki I sigh contentedly. 😍

[@samdipietro1903]

So do I Anne we spent a beautiful day there a year ago sat at there covo bar for waiting for the ferry Would go back again. Food at the covo bar awesome

[@gianpaoloscatigna5267]

Nicki, i tuoi diari sono straordinari esercizi di reportage turistico. Storia, cultura, antropologia, gastronomia, imprenditoria. Straordinaria. Mi permetto di suggerirti, per il futuro, il Salento. Magari ospitandovi sulla mia barca. Un caro saluto.

[@rosiesturgeon7616]

Such a beautiful location for girls get together. You’re garden is always a favorite of mine. I use your garden as an example to our garden. Love the time you and Carlo spend together, along with your sweet Holly. The brunch you had with Your best friends looked absolutely wonderful ♥️

[@dawnstan4391]

Positano is really starting to become busy. Love the beach birthday and reminisce when we wandered along the beach only 7 months ago. Another lovely video. I love all aspects, the garden, the walks, views, Holly and your family, your friends and everything. Enjoying watching your video's from Australia.

[@tinabailey4083]

Luca is a very talented farmer!

[@sandicarpenter2658]

another lovely video...watching on July 17th 2022, and tested positive last night!! the final member of all family and friends to be struck down! I'm down but not OUT!!! Sipping wine in the hot sunshine in Norfolk and hoping it will remain as a slight cold!!! xxx

You could make tomato leaves scented candles! Thank you for the non 'bum' angle and maybe gift him a cintura for christmas😀 Luca is a sport Holly and Carlo had the same look when you left them alone by the people. Elizabeth's daughter's spontaneous ❤️ hugs are to cherish they grow up so fast.

Happy Birthday to Peppe and thank you Nicki for your latest videos. Good to see more people are out and about in Positano. Just nice comfortable numbers so that you all can enjoy it. Your videos and instagrams are keeping me well entertained during our "keep safe" time in the land of Oz. ⛱🏊‍♀️

[@NickiPositano]

Thank you so much!

[@lauralee9041]

Imagine an onion hair cut. That whole bit made me laugh. What a great few days.

[@NickiPositano]

ugh!

[@mn9689]

The garden is so beautiful and it’s nice to see how things are done over there like how the onions are wrapped and hung , also the ripening of tomatoes for future canning. Love it! Sending ❤️from USA.

[@rsoubiea]

We have potatoe vine too, it’s very robust and pretty. I love it.

[@martindurkin8837]

The vistas are mind boggling and you may have the coolest dog in Italy!

[@tootsieb11]

Nicki, I think (hopefully)your subscribers may increase as I"ve been spreading the Positano Diaries word and its also just been posted on one of the chateau groups I'm in. Everyone should start the day with a visit with you & your family 👪 & friends and animals..not forgetting the beautiful scenery. 💜

That is very kind of you! Thank you Ruth!

[@b.manafi548]

I just love that white flower tree I remembered when you planted the 3 came up looking so good 😊

[@catleblanc3270]

My husband and I just LOVE your videos Nicki! Wonderful. :) Love the American Beauty picture in the tomatoes.

[@christinalecce1141]

The tomatoes look beautiful. You are right, there is nothing like the smell of a full bloom tomato plant. Will you be showing how you process your tomatoes? Do you ever make conserva? The concentrated ripened tomato is so nice to add to your sauces. Again, thank you for sharing your world with us.

[@NickiPositano]

Yes, we will document it all!

[@colleenthompson2622]

So cute. Great day and evening. Wow. That tree was something else for one year. A Potato Vine? Never heard of it. Love 💋✌🏻☕🙏🍀🇨🇦💓🌞🥘

Carlo and Holly, so cute together at the pool. The harvest is looking good this year and the tomatoes on the table... I wanted to reach out and get some. Yes, you will have to get a good camera for the evening hours, looked like a lovely girls night out. The food/desserts always look so good, they make me hungry. Take care all! Ciao for now.

Beautiful video again, Positano is looking more alive, gorgeous flowers everywhere and it’s making me so sad we’re not there. Your girl’s night out looked like fun, good for you! Hope your knee is ok! Grazie Mille!! Ciao Nicki! 😘 🇮🇹

Thank you so much!!

[@ChateautenBerghe]

Hi Nicki, We use a Gopro for most of our videos, it works in almost every situation, light or dark, it's small and you can attach it everywhere (scooter for exemple) there are even gopro dog harnesses (look it up on Google ;-)

[@NickiPositano]

Thanks for the tips! I do have a Hero 5 which I use when kayaking and on the scooter. I have not attached it to any of the animals yet though!

[@dianalewis8548]

Another beautiful video. You have a varied and loving life. Those tomatoes will be alot of work but worth it. Please film that. Hugs to all and look forward to the next one. Ciao 😘❤

[@NickiPositano]

I will!

[@wildflowerwind6941]

It is magical there in the evening when the lights come on. But I would hate walking back up all those steps to get home.

[@NickiPositano]

down to home actually

[@amandarichards7395]

Another fabulous vlog. I miss southern Italy so much but not the stairs! I completely understand how it could be an issue in the future. There are so many options ... if you want to stay in the south, Lecce is a fabulous city (reminds me of Barcelona) or even Salerno??? Up north - Lucca (without question) - it’s my second home. Lake Garda is beautiful as is Verona or any of that region on the Adriatic Coast. Hope you can go exploring and take us all with you.

Just subb’d. I’m sure you work hard with editing etc and it shows. At 52 I appreciate content I can relate to. Real life but w/beautiful back drop. You’re prob bored of hearing that it’s my dream to come one day. I’ve not been able to travel for yrs due to medical/health issues (I’m far from being in the minority) so your videos let me escape and gives me a carrot. Thx so much and to Carlo for his genuine Italia smile and Holly. PS Im vegan/plant based as is my husb but my gran had a farm when I was a kid so apart from my own beliefs I do respect other’s and know your chickens aren’t hurt even when held upside down. 😉 I’ve been accused of not being a true vegan at times but that’s fine. Anyway grazie!
