I’m going to milk this Italy trip to eternity 😂 Giglio was lovely - I stayed at La Guardia hotel, ate good food, did some yoga, shopping, trekking and had many laughs with a bunch of amazing girls.
To be honest, I returned to stress and house issues the minute I arrived back but I am determined not to experience what I went through in April ever again. For those who don’t know, I had a mini meltdown then because our home is not finished to a professional standard and talking to the builder meant that he would then arrange for the same trades who would finish things badly in the first place, to come back and do them as badly all over again. The snag lists remained and we kept going round in circles until I lost it 😒
Yesterday our culvert totally flooded and our decking where the pergola is was submerged in water. My gardener also asked me if I didn’t mind him showing me more issues with the drainage, plus damaged stone work. At this point, I’m resigning to the fact that our house might not finish before 2030 and in the meantime, I’m gona keep watching these Med reels, eat lots of tzatziki souvlaki and try to not give a damn.
