Hi NonnaLou
Welcome
Your home looks really beautiful. And you are only about an hour from me. I have a home in Picinisco, in the beautiful Val di Comino, near Atina which is about 10 minutes away. It takes me about 45 minutes to get to Formia.

Ron and I are hoping to move over permanently as soon as my business is sold but it is taking a bit longer than I anticipated what with the current economic climate. I absolutely adore Italy and am so happy we bought when and where we did. We still have some work to do on the house although inside we have done quite a bit already but the land needs a lot of work as it has been neglected for over 20 years.
Looking at the weather forecast today it looks like we have had better weather and warmth here in the UK than you have in Italy right now. There seems to be a real cold spell over there at the moment. It was 12C today here yet by Ansa Meteo, Frosinone only reached 7C. I am coming over at the end of March for a week with two friends so hopefully it will have warmed up by then.

Perhaps we can meet up one day.
