My lunch break
24 de janeiro, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Today I want to show you my daily lunch time routine.

I usually work from 7 in the morning to 5 in the evening. So I neither miss the early birds, nor the late birds and in addition I have time for undisturbed works in the morning.

This would exceed my weekly working time, if I would not do a long lunch break.

When I work in Germany, this lunch break is peppered with medical appointments, pre-worship pleasures, yoga or swimming to ease the (luckily no more chronic) back pain (too much sitting) - a win-win situation.

But not only that, it's a win-win-win situation, because here in workation I can use the time to swim in the sea, to go for a walk to dismiss my back and also to have lunch.

So this is how my daily path to the sea looks like ❤️.Leia mais

Torre di Manfria
2 de fevereiro, Itália ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Today is Friday, so I'm free 😍.

Since I have never been able to walk east to the very end of the beach during my lunch break, I used today to do so. I was told there is a tower behind the corner. So I walked to the end of the beach and put on my sneakers there.

This is necessary because the cliffs there extend into deep water, so you have to climb over it. The cliffs have sharp edges, so flip-flops are not the best choice.

Behind the cliffs is the Crystal beach. The name comes from the rocks that surround it on the coast, which are made of crystals. Unfortunately you can't get directly to the Torre, it's too impassable. So I walked over the crystal rocks up to the road and then from there to the Torre - il Torre di Manfria.

To protect the coastal towns of Sicily from constant attacks by both enemies and African pirates, the Spanish government decided to erect a series of towers for defensive purposes, arranged on the coast in such a way as to constitute a strategic surveillance system. military.

The high level of communication and connection made it possible to report any dangers and spread the news of impending incursions across the entire island.

The Torre di Manfria was part of the warning system of the Coastal Towers of Sicily, built following the instructions of the Florentine architect Camillo Camilliani.

It stands on a hill overlooking the hamlet and is visible from all over the Gulf of Gela. It is currently privately owned and is in a reasonable state of conservation, except for the terrace which has some sections of the cornice now in ruins. It should be noted that it is one of the largest Camillian towers, it is in fact approximately 15 meters high with a base of approximately 12,5 metres.

The tower itself is no big deal but the hike along the beach and over the crystal rocks rock 😂🤪🥰Leia mais

Vela Vega
18 de janeiro, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
I live here in a house called Vela Vega, some days ago we were 10 people living here.

There are two apartments with their own kitchen and bathroom and two rooms on the ground floor with a shared kitchen and bathroom and three rooms upstairs with a shared kitchen and bathroom.

Both large kitchens are shared kitchens for everyone, so we cook and eat together once a day in the evening, and then we can sit together in the shared living room or on the balcony. So people cook, shop and wash up together and the costs are shared equally.

Let’s call it a community house with some place to retreat. You can stay here in different ways, as I said, in a shared room (there is also one 4-person room) or in an apartment. But you can also participate in different ways, as volunteers are welcome.

Either you pay in full, then only cooking and eating together is obligatory, or you help out for around 20 hours a week, then you only pay for food.

When I arrived there were 10 of us, two of whom had just left. 8 people will stay until the end of January, then 4 people will leave. At least three more people will be added at the beginning of February and the rest is currently still up in the air.

The house is located at a distance of 200m to the sea and there are only dunes between us and the ocean. It has a beautiful permaculture garden, which was created by the owner's son and is maintained by the volunteers.

The owner has a small bungalow on the property right next to the villa where she lives. There are currently 4 volunteers, but from February on, there will only be three.

In any case, I think so far that it is a successful mix of community and retreat but I can tell more end of February 😉.Leia mais

Good morning Sicilia
18 de janeiro, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
I know I still haven't taken any photos of the house and the apartment, but Monday to Thursday I work a lot and I invest the 2 hour lunch break in swimming 🏊🏼‍♀️ and sunny 🌞 walks on the beach 🏖️.

Although I get sunrise over an hour earlier in the morning and 45 minutes more in the evening, there isn't much sun left after ending my work at 5 p.m. Today I'll try to take a few photos and a film during my lunch break. Then I'll write what kind of house this is in the evening, this might be of interest for you.

That's the view I see when I fall out of bed in the morning 🥱.Leia mais

Ice bathing in test
14 de janeiro, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
It's cool today because the storm front passed through two days ago. 14 degrees air temperature, 16 degrees water temperature. In the sun it is of course warm enough for t-shirt and shorts.

The perfect test for "ice bathing" 🏊🤪.

I'm thrilled, it works great ❤️ if you can lounge in the sun ☀️ to dry afterwards and you don't need bathing clothes 👙 either.

I will stick to that! 😍Leia mais

Herbes go permaculture
26 de janeiro, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
When I recently posted a photo of the garden, Heinz-Heino immediately noticed the rosemary because it is currently in full bloom and is immediately noticeable. ❤️

But there are all sorts of other herbs, I particularly like sage. 😋

Of course, this means that we can cook with fresh herbs all the time, but the basil would like it to be a little warmer, wetter and, above all, more protected from the wind. But he perseveres.

So if you were to stay here, you could look forward to dishes seasoned with wonderfully fresh herbs. 😋❤️🌱🥘Leia mais

Vegetables go permaculture
27 de janeiro, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Two years ago, Paul, the owner's son, who is biologist, has created a permaculture garden here.

Ingrid, a fruit farmer who has landed here for the long term, now enjoys a huge field of experiments all year round and continually gains experience in where red cabbage grows better and where worse and repeatedly puts garlic, onions, parsley or fava in the soil here and there.

In two years the whole thing has developed quite considerably from a conventional garden into an insect oasis. You can see that the biological balance is slowly coming into play here.

Today I went through the garden with Ingrid and learned some things about permaculture - what a gift that I can stay and learn here. ❤️Leia mais

Fruit trees go permaculture
1 de fevereiro, Itália ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
There are also a lot of fruit trees here. The mulberry tree even serves as an outdoor shower 🚿, because when it has leaves you are wonderfully protected from view and it is very spacious to stand upright. Anne also mixes the mulberries into the banana bread and this is a super tasty mixture.

There are three different types of oranges 🍊 and other citrus fruits such as lemons 🍋 and grapefruit. There is also a mango 🥭 and a banana 🍌 , as well as an almond 🌸 and two figs (one green and one dark).

Then of course there is a peach 🍑, a plum and two apricots - I love them very much and they remind me of my childhood, because we had a huge apricot tree in the garden with countless fruits.

There are also three moninga trees and a lot of olive 🫒 trees. The olives are currently being pickled and I'm looking forward to eating them. Another thing I love and have at home are avocados 🥑; there are also two avocado trees here.

I probably forgot something in the list, but you can see that we are well covered. Personally, a passion fruit 🍈 and a papaya would be missing, but at a high level it's easy to complain 😜.Leia mais

Good night Scilia
20 de janeiro, Itália ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
The evenings and nights here are wonderful. The play of colors is impressive. The atmosphere is so clear and the remaining light is so low, that you can see an incredible starry sky. Siri, the owner, brought her now grown son's telescope with her when she moved here from Berlin. It is a very simple telescope and allows you to marvel at the lunar craters 🌔 extremely well. We recently saw Jupiter 🪐 and its moons 🌕🌒🌓🌔.

What a gift!Leia mais

Daily routine
16 de fevereiro, Itália ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Today I only worked for some hours and took a long walk, my daily routine walk. This time once more until the end of the beach.

I like the houses there, most of them can be bought. But I'm not ready yet to get settled.

Of course I took a swim 🏊 at the small beach 🏖️ behind the end of the beach where you can see the Torre di Manfria.Leia mais
