A routine day of shopping for
groceries at John Lewis
Foodhall from Waitrose turned
into a grocery store opera when
five singers performed a rousing
rendition of the Italian classic
Funiculì, Funiculà. This creative
and fun musical flash mob is
from Sacla’ the Pesto Pioneers
and Italian foodies favourite
brand who served up a great
surprise by staging this
impromptu Opera in the food
aisles. How cool would it be to
have some opera singers
perform each time you went
shopping for groceries.
It has long been a tradition
for some to turn the life
cycle event into a family
pilgrimage...

THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
In a few short weeks I will board the train at the station in Lamezia
Terme, the biggest town closest to my mountain village in Calabria,
and head toward another town, Villa San Giovanni. There the train,
with all the passengers on board, will itself board a ferry boat, taking
us across the Straits of Messina to the island of Sicily...
