Totally agree- LOVE their site. And I too was moved by that post…I just wished she lived closer so she could come help me paint my walls just like hers

Hi Michelle,

So, being that I am the worlds worst writer, I couldn’t begin to comment on the post above.

But, whew…..I paged down and viola!…..there was a “Tuscan View…..”.

I am planning to meet up with Amanda while I’m in Cortona in the next few weeks, doing an art workshop. Love their blog….and yours.

Why do I feel like I want to move to Italy?
The comradery between all of the expats living in Italy is fantastic and it makes me a wee bit envious – like I want to be a part of it! So I live vicariously through all of your blogs.
What a wonderful couple and the fact they collaborate together on writing the blog – brilliant in my book. Thanks for yet another great blog I can add to the already-too-long-list of blogs I love to read.

There is a lovely feeling among many of us over here, Colette, but you’re an expat too so you understand a lot of what we go through, even if it’s through a different lens. I love that Amanda and Julian collaborate as well–if only P would get into blogging!

Wow! Thank you so much for this Michelle, it’s making me blush. It means all the more because yours was the very first blog I read back in the days when I was a young blog virgin! As you know the rest is in the archives. Thank you for being a constant inspiration and great blog buddy, your generosity is unbounded.

Also a big ‘mwah’ to all the motley crew who have commented, thank you for the kind words. It is your wonderful comments that keep the blog alive. Keep em coming! (Hey, did I just win an oscar?!!)

Amanda @ A Tuscan View….’s last blog post..Ferragosto

I imagine winning an Oscar is infinitely cooler than appearing on my blog, but your appreciation is certainly well-received. It is truly a pleasure to share your wonderful space on these Interwebs with others that I know will enjoy it just as much as I do

oh yes, one of my most favorite writers as well! The imagery is always clear, and I normally end up laughing out loud during a post too. Also, they are great people ‘in person’

So true, Erin…imagery and laughter…two fabulous side effects of reading A Tuscan View – from Umbria

Good choice! I enjoy their observations and would love to take one of their painting classes.. Wouldn't it be great if us expat bloggers all headed out there for a group course? Milanese Masala's last blog post..Greetings from Toronto!! Ooh what a great idea!

I love their blog. It is one of my favorites as well.

I really enjoyed meeting them at the Expat GTG that Sara organized in Florence.
