    Thank you to Antonio and Salvatore for showing us around!
    The weather was beautiful and sunny the whole time we were away but we came back to rain, snow and hail! So we settle back down to winter in Positano, a time when everything in town is closed and we can spend time walking, eating, cooking and hiking.

    I don't normally comment twice in one vlog, but this time I MUST. You guys may not consider yourselves professionals, but your videography imo ranks right up there with the best of them! You and Carlo have something special. It's called TALENT. And that is what sets your videos apart. THANK YOU! GRAZIE MILLE!

    Has Carlo ever thought of making a tourist guide to the local cemetery where he worked? Maybe create a little booklet self-guided tour of the famous people buried there, the artistic styles of the markers, local funeral traditions, good views, interesting stories, ghost stories or oddities, and favorite trees/plants. These could be sold at the entrance to help support the cemetery or available for download while visitors walk around. If they've ever finished the elevator, they probably will be getting more visitors.

    The city of Positano, for that matter, and all of the areas of the Amalfi Coast should be sponsoring your videos! I can't even imagine the amount of money you and Carlo have generated for so many businesses. You have introduced so many local businesses to us that many might never know of. Your gift of storytelling, and sharing the real Positano, coupled with Carlo's drone talent and not to forget Elisabeth, the girls, Skye Tomaso and never to leave out Luca even Pepe- my goodness, you are all professionals and have welcomed each of us into your magical world. I can't I leave out your amazing Dad and him sharing his stories, jams, and the world of the UK. I would gladly support any sponsorships that you acquired. Let me just add- anyone not on Nicki's Patreon is missing out on so much! It's worth 10 times the small amount I pay every month. Thanks, Nicki for the added content there, I love it!

    Ciao Nicki! I loved how you settled in on the word "forceful" (vs violent) vis-a-vis the comments on sponsored ads. Obviously, you should do what feels right for you first and foremost. I think people sometimes forget that they are getting all of this great content for FREE, and perhaps don't even really understand how much work goes into creating, editing, and posting, etc. Personally, I don't mind a sponsored ad when the content is really good (like yours). It's easy enough to skip it if it's not something one is interested in. Thank you for sharing your Italian life with us every week!

      Oh and in September I was on vacation on the Amalfi coast, and while we were stuck in bus traffic, Nicki was coming on her scooter from the opposite direction and had to slow down because of the jam, enough for me to see her from the bus window. Seeing Nicki it was the highlight of the day because the vacation was kind of a failure due to the massive rains that fell during that period. 😊

    The snow views were wonderful. Our old house was in an area of Spain where snow never appeared. One morning we were awoken at six in the morning to a lot of noise outside. Snow had fallen and everyone was out in it. Adults, kids, dogs you name it they were there. They had never seen snow up close in their entire lives. Us old hands just looked on. Personally I hate the stuff if you were trying to get to work. But real fun for them.

    I understand why people are so anti ads but social media is dependant on ads to exist unfortunately. Without ads us RUclipsrs wouldn't be able to share what we do either. There is the option to skip ads and you can pay a monthly fee to watch without ads. RUclipsrs are asked to sponsor companies etc especially when by their viewing numbers are high. It's normal, it's how companies survive. 🤷 And, RUclipsrs work hard putting videos together so to receive a little income from the ads helps to make it all worth while. You're doing a great job Nicki! 👍👏💯

    Nicki ive watched all your videos on youtube most of them several times . On a wet or cold afternoon there is nothing more comforting for me than a cup of tea and a kit-kat and watching your older journeys . Living alone it really does make a difference to be able to watch and feel that i am there . Its up to you what you put in your videos . Dont ever ask joe bloggs as there will always be contention. Do what you want to do. If more of the complainers took time to watch all the work you and your family have put into this platform then they would be championing you to do what is best or what you feel is good for you. Sorry its so long but i felt it had to be said :) Sending much love to all.

    Dear Nicki and Carlos, you are doing a great job by making these video's and I can see you are putting a lot of effort and details in it 💖I applaude you how you edit these video's and how you put these drone images in between your video and photos! love the drone images from Carlos very much 🌟and his interview with the architect and carpentry! You are all such modest and kind people to make these local craftsmen more famus and they deserve all the love and attention 💖And I want to make you a huge compliment as you both are working together in this video and I love this as to me Nicki how you as an English woman see the Italian view/part of this and Carlos as an Italian contributes with his part and the stunning drone images and I think that makes it so unique! 💞You are both such down to earth and modest and very kind people and I love that 💞I view life more from a spiritual point of view and everything happens for a reason. The fact that you were discussing the fact to put some advertisement in your video as until now you did not earn from it I will tell you my part of it. I am on the same page as you Nicki, I usually do not like advertisements in the video's, but you do not make an income from it, but are working very hard for making these bautiful video's. On top of that the distribution belt of your car broke down and that is a very expensive reparation! Maybe this happened to make the decision to put an advertisement in your video's? I have no clue how much money tha twill make for you, but we as viewers can skip it if we are annoyed by it, can we not? (Ps. I know for the very close future things on earth are going to change massively and money will not be a problem for us anymore. We will not have to pay income taxes anymore and we get a kind of stipend per month which will cover the basic things for life. and a lot of other changes will come so that we will no longer be in survival modus 🙏) I totally understand if you decide to put advertising in the video's. Why not consult your dear father as he is such a wise ( camera))man? You have inherited a lot of his skills by puting together these beautiful video"s Nicki. I am only here for a few months and I love how you share about your life in Positano and I am always looking forward to your video's. Much love to you and your family 🌷 and I hope your car willbe fixed soon and that it will not be a high bill 🙏

    I am so glad to see they are building an elevator to get down into Positano. When I was in Italy in 2021, I had an accident and shattered my knee and I thought I would never get to see Positano because of my limitations. This elevator will allow me and so many others to be able to visit your beautiful town now. I’m so sorry about your car. I hope it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to fix. I don’t love ads in videos but, and this is a BIG but, I think it’s only fair that you should be able to earn more income from your videos if you can. You have earned the right to be sponsored because of the quality of your videos. Some of the vloggers I watch started doing sponsorships, but they are very very particular about what sponsorships they agree to. You could take the same approach. I think the added income that you would make will make up for the few people you might lose along the way. I think people need to understand that what you’re doing is partly for fun and enjoyment but it’s also a revenue stream for your life that you need. The breakdown of your car is a perfect example of why you need to earn extra income. So don’t be ashamed or shy in adding sponsorships to your videos. People are perfectly capable of fast forwarding or skipping through the ad if they don’t want to hear it. IMHO I am also going to join your Patreon 😁 You are only the 2nd Patreon account I will join. Can’t wait to check it out. Thank you for sharing your story in your amazing videos ❤️

    Sorry about your car problem, but like you said at least it was close to home. It gives new meaning to the expression, "it's all in the timing!"😂 Your walk along the ledge makes me nervous. I picture myself catching my foot on the uneven walkway and winding up flying over the edge! (One way of avoiding the stairs) Carlo's friend and his father have such beautiful things in their shop. I wish them success. It has been delightful sitting here with a nice cup of tea and a slice of banana bread spending time with you Carlo and the doggies. Thank you. 🙂💙

    Hope the car repairs go OK.. fortunately you two walk a lot..
    In TX it wouldn’t happen.. we have two cars and golf cart.. but since we are both retired we use golf cart to get around our little community.. restaurant, fitness center, tennis court and dog park..we walk a lot also!
    Love drone shots!

    @nickipositano Your content is amazing and I am so thankful for the fun, interesting and peaceful repsite I get when watching. If you decide to do sponsored videos it's your business and I am fully in support of you doing whatever you want with YOUR channel. We are all just guests here and as a guest it's my duty to be on my best behavior, to be thankful and gracious for the gift you give us.

    As always, thank you for all the wonderful content and for sharing your life with us. My best, Lisa G.

    Oh Nicki another delightful vlog from you both! You've inspired me to do vlogs (just for my family & close friends) of our travels & what we get up to. Boy it's hard work & takes HOURS of editing - even at my amateur level. I take my hat off to you. Thank you, thank you for perservering even with the ugly comments you sometimes get. I know how it feels to ' put yourself out there' in front of possible criticism. You inspire me on a weekly basis!! PS just bought a drone to hopefully add some extra fun content!!

    i spoke italian until i was about 4, then moved out of my italian grandmother's home and forgot most of it, but did hear it spoken when she visited us in our home until i was 20.....but now decades later, watching your videos, i do pick up words here and there and understand them, it's amazing how much i can recall. I'm in the USA, born here but my grandparents and one aunt were born near Naples, Rome and Pescara.

    it is very easy to skip forward through an ad, I so enjoy seeing the area where you live, I will never get to go myself, and this s so personal, and up close..really like being there with you, so I am grateful for your videos ....frankly the ads just are not a big deal, you should get paid for all the work that goes into making them.

    Thank you both for another lovely Sunday visit. Loved the wood shop, especially the lamps. Handmade is so precious. The tray of goodies you uncovered is a close second Nicki 😃. Good luck with your Audi. Hope your mechanic surprises you with a better outcome than anticipated. That is always a good thing. Ciao.

    Love your videos. Will watch with or without ads. If the sponsorship helps you continue to make your content then by all means. You deserve to take advantage of the opportunities presented to you. If you do choose to do sponsorships only agree to companies/products that you truly stand behind! Keep up the beautiful work 🥰

    The waterfall was beautiful. Most people wouldn't swim in winter. No thank you.
    Sorry to hear your car broke down on Carlo. I hate having to deal with repairs. They always are so darned expensive. If you keep your cars up well, though, they will last a pretty long time.
    Thank you Carlo for showing us the work from that artisan. His creations are great. Even better that they are hereditary. So many beautiful talents get lost over the years. Thanks to you both. I don't mind ads on the channels...good time to go get a drink. They help people to make a living. The watcher could always fast forward thru the ads. Ignorant of people to refuse to watch or follow if you have ads. People need to make a living. They could always become a patreon if they hate the ads so much, can they not? Hugs to you both and thank you for all your hard work. So nice that you all are wonderful to your parents....yours and Carlo's.
