I hope your brother improves with his intensive rehabilitation, my youngest sister was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and struggles with her mobility so I understand the frustration xx

    Not sure how to word this without sounding weird but Carlo is the father figure everyone needs and this is coming from a 45 year old who hasn’t had a father since the age of 6. He’s Uber resourceful, knows how to fix everything, will teach you how to renovate an entire house (or almost) and keeps the brain sharp.

    #1...ABSOLUTELY take that fabulous coat! It is a classic! Timeless! #2...How the heck does Carlo know how to do the endless fixes and repairs he takes on let alone the things he creates out of left over stuff! The man is a genius and so resourceful!😳😊

    Watching your vlogs makes Monday not seem so bad to face because I’m one day closer to the next Sunday vlog of yours!!!❤❤❤ The view from your house is stunning!!!❤❤❤. I love what you did with the stone around the fireplace! It looks amazing! Great job on the fence and all your hard work inside the house to surprise your beautiful wife Carlo!❤❤❤ I’m so glad you got to see your brother and dad in England! It’s hard to live so far away from your loved ones. Prayers to your brother’s speedy recovery and to your lovely dad. So nice that you have a piece of your mum’s to remember her by. You looked amazing in her coat! Can’t wait to see the new kitchen and the rest of your projects!!! Take good care.❤❤❤

    Espresso Martini's and a classic Burberry Trench Coat given to your mother. A few of my favorite things. Nicki, you look great in that coat. Carlo did a wonderful job framing the windows with the pretty vines. I love to watch Holly and Indy enjoying their new country life. Much love and good wishes to your brother and hoping he fully recovers.💕

    Your fireplace looks truly amazing! What a transformation! I have never seen 2 people work so hard in my life! Clearly you love Reno projects and moreover , love the finished product!I think you should give the previous owners a deadline date to pickup their belongings and turtles..if they miss the deadline, then just donate everything. They do not seem like they are being fair with you, so you might have to get tough. Your house is coming along very nicely. I love to work hard and long hours doing reno projects myself, but the 2 of you are above and beyond! God bless your brother! Prayers that his therapy will reverse his situation. Keep your mom’s coat! In the USA, the new Spring/ Summer trend is Trench Coats! My daughter thinks they are a new creation and I just giggle because i lived through that trend in the 80s, and now it’s back! I have not seen a trench coat here in 40 years and now EVERYONE IS WEARING THEM!Keep it and wear it and treasure it since your dad gave it to your mom! Your dad is incredible! God bless you all! You are a lovely family!

    Keep the classic, Burberry! I bought one just like it in London while on a business trip in 1983. I wore it for years until it nearly crumbled. I was so proud that I could own it. 😊

    Yayyyy, kitchen! So excited. That upholstered L shaped dinning bench was so awesome, so chill and comfortable. Too bad they don't ship. Fireplace turned out amazing!! Carlo the fence looks like new and clearing the bush was brilliant. Now every window looks like framed scenery art. The whole place is just magical and getting better everyday.

    Yes, take the trench coat. It is completely timeless and looks fab on you. So pleased that your dad was able to step in to save your brother from what is supposed to be our wonderful NHS. I hope he has a speedy recovery. It will be lovely to see your dad in Tuscany soon. What lovely walks you'll go on together.

    Wish your brother Martin a speedy recovery, he sure has a positive outlook so inspiring 😊. That Burberry car coat is so nice, it will never go out of style…take it home with you! The shrubs look great, they will full of lush green leaves in no time. I’m so envious of the rain storm, we are bone dry 😢. Love the fire place.

    Martin I hope your rehab restores your strength, range of movement, and helps with your balance. From my very limited experience with occupational therapy, OT and PT professionals really do wonders. Sort of like chaplains for us, physically and emotionally.

    For Martin: I had a mini-stroke about 5 years ago and walked with a cane for balance for a year--I kept forcing myself to go to work and walk as much as I could stand in a day...eventually, I was able to walk without the cane, although I still have some balance issues...keep pushing yourself: you will be amazed at how much you will get back...best wishes, dts/usa
