    Did he bring jam? I am quite envious of his jam stash. Your dad seems like a fascinating man, I bet he has some awesome stories. Maybe he should start a channel, Afternoon Tea with Harry and he can tell stories of his travels and such. I think the world needs content like that.

    Harry is over 90, and he’s flying out of the country, and walking all over the place. I’m 56, and he gets around more than me. He’s such an inspiration.

    It's so great to see Dad visiting your Tuscan house! One thing I've noticed about him is how deeply he lives. Everything he encounters he doesn't just look at... he really _sees_ it. How the olive trees are getting the sun. The build of the elaborate (and creepy) wardrobe. The architecture of the buildings. Not everyone is so curious about the world around them. He soaks in all the knowledge. It's really a rare and wonderful trait and I absolutely think he's amazing. ❤

    • @snoopybluejeans

      Being a camera man all his life probably taught him to see things from different angles. I agree, he takes a very in-depth look at things. He's a very eloquent, charismatic man. Nicki is a lucky lady. I bet her mother was the same.

    I realized a few things on this video: a) Nicki is physically strong, b) Her father is cool. I always liked him, but didn't notice his swagger before, c) moving to where there are fewer steps, Harry can visit more often and stay longer, d) people see value in things that others will pass right by. Harry, with his experience in movies, films, and high art, recognized how remarkable the metal advertisement for Bocelli's operatic concert is. The adage "one man's trash is another man's treasure" can insert here.

    Your father is such a kind, uplifting and lovely man Nicky! I wished I had a father like yours! (My father is a narcissist and never ever was interested in me or my life) And your father has so much to talk about. How nice would it be that he can come more often to beautiful Tuscany! The area is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. I love these 2nd hand shops too and I can walk for hours there. People used to make such beautiful Tartarian wardrobes and furniture, amazing and I love these antique furniture. You have the best of 2 places to be able to live with an amazing handy Carlo 🙏

    Of course the absolute highlight was how Nicki sat and listened with us as Harry, almost lost for words, tried to explain his joy, happiness and love of Nicki and Carlo’s new Tuscan life and home… it was wonderful to see him so brimming with ecstasy over every detail…loved every moment of him talking, warmed my heart… thank you Nicki… looks like Harry will be a regular visitor now and who knows, maybe he will eventually come to live here too… loved his little quip: ‘I envy myself being here…!’😂 what a gorgeous man❤ thank you all… hugs xx

I love you all and hope seeing "Harry" more often in the vids now in Tuscany.... 😊❤

    Beautiful video! Your dad is years younger in Tuscany than in the UK. I thought that he was much older when you visited him, but he is suddenly very alive and excited about life. It’s never too late to make a change. I see it often here in Mexico where previously “old” people are walking up steep hills or wearing swim suits on the beach. Harry is a very interesting man, not old at all!

      I agree, she has brilliant taste! am always wishing Nicki had a playlist of what she used. I just wish I knew their names!
