"Like falling in love with a ski instructor!" That whole section made me chuckle, Kerstin: holiday romance meets reality.

I loved Elena Ferrante's books and have yet to watch the TV series.

Hadn't heard that Maneskin cover of Beggin' before. Love it!

haha.

We can all relate to going on holiday and falling madly in love. I remember looking at the Kampas in Tibet; tall with long swinging shiny hair, macho and cool. But imagine that Kampa tribesman in Kilburn.

Do watch the series. I couldn't get on with the books, although didn't try very hard but the TV series is fantastic. I can't understand why it hasn't won awards.

Damiano David just oozes sex and charisma.

Ornella Vanoni is increditble - here she is singing a duet at the age of 90: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvLBIwBXsM4
