8962 Hi there My name is Joan and I'm Irish

Hi,
My name is Joan and I live in Co. Galway in Ireland. We have just bought an apartment in Calabria, near Lamezia Terme. We hope to use it ourselves off peak and rent it for the summer months. (all going well):laughs:
At the moment we are looking for furniture stores near Lamezzia Terme and have found this forum a great help.I look forward to getting to know everyone, and would love to know if anyone has bought in Calabria. Especially Residencia La Brezza.
By the way has anyone had any dealings with a company called springblue furniture, we were badly let down by them :reallyembarrassed::Dancing_angry::realmad:
Talk again soon
Joan

Seems that other buyers had trouble with this company.

This thread is starting to sound a bit like an "Irish Anonymous" meeting :-) Only kidding, Welcome to the forum.

Hi Steve, your place looks great. Will have to put photos of my place up here too.
Tell me how do I do that :veryconfused:

My place? Photos? Nope, you're confused there.

Oh, wait. There is a tiny one of me and the cat, but that's at home in Ireland.

maybe a reference to the photo album of San Gimignano you've uploaded and which is visible to those viewing your profile?

Hi Joan,
Welcome to the forum - we are a bit further north than you at Belvedere Marittimo.
Try this for furniture, there's a branch near Lamezia.
