Photo Friday: Spring in Amalfi’s Harbor

Fishing Boat in Amalfi

The beautiful spring weather has all eyes turned toward the beaches and water in Amalfi. The wooden slats are being replaced on the boat docks in the harbor, and soon trucks will arrive one after another bringing back the many privately owned boats that are removed for the winter months. The beaches are being cleaned and pushed back into shape after the winter storms, and the seaside restaurants are getting a new coat of paint. Fishing boats have been pulled up onto the beach to get that new coat of paint, too. This little fishing boat looked like it could use some tender loving care. It belongs to one of the men that works in the harbor on the boats, and it has a busy life going between all the boats and checking the buoys and docks. The busy time of year in Amalfi’s harbor has arrived!

    And I can’t wait to take it all in!!! I love how Easter fosters new coats of paint, novel enthusiasm and the airing out of winter on the Costiera.
    Soooooo excited about our imminent meeting too.

    My son is beside himself, I can barely contain him until then.

    Start making a list of Pos places you’d like to visit together (and if they’re food-slanted, I’m game).

    Baci

      Ciao Eleonora,
      I’m thrilled that you and your son can make it down over Pasqua! I know how much you love it here and a visit back will be good for both of you. We’ll hope this nice spring continues with sunshine over Easter while you’re here! Can’t wait to meet both of you … and to get to know your Positano. It’s a town that I love, but that I know very little about. I’m open to seeing (and eating!) anything! 🙂
      A presto,
      Laura

What a moving experience yesterday morning to see What a moving experience yesterday morning to see the Olympic torch in Amalfi. 🔥 One of the many many reasons I love living right in the center of Amalfi is that in one minute I can be in the middle of making pasta with artichokes and the next watching a historic moment happen. I never take that for granted! @milanocortina2026 @olympics

Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustra Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustrationbyjonathan of Jane Austen’s House in Chawton and her tiny 12-sided writing table. It looks exactly like the beautiful spring day when I was there in April this year. Such a beautiful memory! I think this will have to stay out all year.
Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the de Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the definite highlights of my year was visiting @janeaustenshouse in Chawton on a beautiful spring day. I still think of her tiny writing table and what it felt like to stand there and take it all in. I’ve enjoyed the book “A Jane Austen Year” throughout the year - pulling it off the shelf at the start of each month. While at Chawton, I picked up the embroidery kit by @abigailrosecreative made to celebrate the 250th celebration. I’ve been wanting to learn to do embroidery for years, so this was the perfect souvenir from Jane Austen’s House. Still a work in progress, but I’m nearly there! 🧵🪡
I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which is how I felt seeing “Partenope - Musica per la sirena di Napoli” at the @teatrosancarlo yesterday. This opera in one act was written by the great Ennio Morricone 30 years ago, and it was finally performed for the first time this weekend. Just in time for the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of Naples. Mary Oliver wrote: “A town cannot live on dreams.” I was thinking about that line yesterday and wondering if maybe a town could live on mythology. 2,500 years later, Naples might just be proof that it can.

As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way throug As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way through some of the books sitting unfinished on my bedside table. I usually finish a book once started, but occasionally I come across one that is so good I can’t let myself rush through it all at once. I want to hang on to that first read as long as I can, slowly savoring the way it changes the geography of my mind.

This autumn that has been “Upstream” - a selection of essays by Mary Oliver. If “attention is the beginning of devotion,” as Oliver writes in the first essay in the book, I am deeply devoted to her writing. Few writers capture my attention and hold it the way she does. This will be a book I know will return to again and again. And, even though I’ve finished, it might be a long time before it leaves my bedside table. I’ll just leave you with a couple of Oliver’s magical lines:

“You must not ever stop being whimsical.

And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.”
