Half started the teepee, made lots of mistakes, first of all: I didn't measure anything,
(must stop to follow my instinct and get more organised, I always say that to myself but then fail miserably).
Today we tested our new canvas tent: we are going camping in about a week for the first time in England and for the first time ever with Anita. We managed to put it in the garden and had an afternoon tea in there, which in Italian is called "merenda" and it's something that Italian kids rarely miss. My favourite merenda when I was a child myself, was bread (the Tuscany type kind of bread) and olive oil, which it was very popular in the 70's... then the 80's came and all the junk with them. Nowadays you get served "pane e olio" in posh Italian restaurants in London as a starter, perhaps accompanied by a rocket salad and some parmesan, but pleeeeease don't put pepper on it! ;^)
