Black Sand Castle

Ever made a sand castle on the beach? I’m sure we all have, both when we were little children and  later in our life when we had children. I find it simply intriguing the way you can combine water and sand and set your imagination free. I love it! It didn’t matter whether my castle wasn’t that big or if the castle next to mine looked perfect even after a few hours, while mine had been soon destroyed by a sudden wave....  it was my attempt to give shape to the so many castles I had imagined when listening to or reading fairy tales. Maybe ‘cause I live in a region full of Medieval castles, or maybe ‘cause I’m still a child myself inside. I’ve always been fascinated by castles, secret passages and high surrounding walls which hid huge parks although I’ve never seen a castle as a dark and macabre place as in the gothic tradition, but more like a happy place. I know this sounds quite anachronistic and it’s only what we read in fairy tales....! But I like to see it like that!

Apricot Dreamin’

Another very hot day today, another day I’ve been dreaming to be on a beach, enjoying the fresh breeze coming from the sea and swimming in deep blue waters.. I love the summer and the blue sea though I’m not so lucky to live near the coast!

On such days what I really like are tomatoes, fruit and icecream. Something fresh and yummy like this cake would be good!

Apticot Dreamin’ is a cold fruit pudding perfect for this time of the year...
