Comment from Richard Frohm
Well done! As I read this I felt as if I was at the festival enjoying all the freshness fall brings. Plus the people and the music.
Thank you for taking my mind away to Italy.

Yes -it's a great title leading to a description of the 'chestnut festival.' in the season of Autumn. The reader can almost smell 'that warm earthy scent.'

I love that smell as I collect the chestnuts .
My fingers are slightly sore from the prickly shells but I hate wearing gloves.
Thank you for reading and leaving your thoughts.

This story of yours makes me hungry. I loved the narrative that was so full of great descriptions, tantalizing references to good food ~ I adore mushroom risotto ~ and the warm, cozy drink. Well done Franca!!

Thanks Sugarray for the praising words.
Sometimes I feel I need to write about something different but especially now where I live there is so much going on.
The harvest season that gives life to the festivals.
The grape, mushroom, the apple etc .
Comment from Julie Helms
This reminds me of autumn in New England, a real delight to the senses!
Some typos:
The title should be Autumn Gifts
And in the second line, I think you mean folk music.
A beautiful taste of fall!

Thank you for the helpful feedback..
Autumn was a typo but I thought folklore music was English.
Glad I made your mouth water. Autumn is such a tasty season.

Folk music= music of the people. I did google folklore music in case I just hadn't heard of it, but nothing came up.

Here the word is use
I always thought it was an English word
We call it FOLCLORE in Italian
and I thought FOLKLORE was the translation in English
The letter K in Italian does not exist.

Folklore is definitely a word. It means stories often of a fantasy nature from ages gone by. I just never heard of folklore music. Folk music is a huge genre, one of my favorites, that came into popularity in the 60s. Pick whatever you're comfortable with...my two cents worth is worth only that. :-)

As soon as I read your review I edit the word.
I was trying to figure out why I wrote Folflore in the first place..
I was not trying to dispute what you said, sorry if I gave you that impression.

Not at all! It's interesting sharing cultural differences.

Well done! I, too, can imagine joining the festival, seeing the sights, and enjoying the many aromas of the food vendors' offerings. Very well done!

OOpppsss I just noticed I forgot to edit the title before releasing my entry.
It is supposed to be Autumn Gifts.
When I'm working on a piece I just invent a title so I can press the SAVE button.....without a title everything blocks.
We have many festivals in Autumn.. chestnut, mushroom, grapes, apples etc the land is very generous.
In the bigger towns, the sagre are even more mouth-watering; you find dozens of stalls with cheeses, salamis, hams..each region has its sweet specialties.

sounds marvelous!
