Yes indeedy, I wake up every day after a good night's sleep (that's new!) and I can't believe my luck. Sometimes though, I think there'll be a tap on my shoulder and some god awful middle manager in her nasty suit will be there saying OK you've had your fun, there are 55 messages on your Blackberry, and you've overspent your budget. But no! Blackberries grow in the garden now, and our budget was blown months ago. Who cares! Keep hold of your dreams Dublin Patrizia - there is life after the caring profession!
Wishing you the best of luck and remember.....

... perseverance is the keyword.We commenced a similar journey over 3 years ago and finally opened our b &b in May of this year. Lots of trials and tribulations and wanting to throw in the towel on many an occasion. Much like you, I got thoroughly pee'd off with "piano, piano". Other half is Italian, so this was normal. Anyway, we kept at it and here we are.It'll be worth it when you get there, you know it will.
Thanks Russ

You're right about perseverance, and I think you have to adjust your perspective every so often as reality sinks in! glad to hear you made it though; I reckon it'll be a year before we're ready to go public - but I'm quite prepared to rethink that, as piano becomes pianissimo.
Oh and the other thing......

No Madam, I am not a rat in any shape or form. I am a Gerbillo. My father was a poet laureat Gerbillo and my mother a university lecturer (in quantum physics) Gerbillo (she also wondered why there is no Italian word 'Gerbilla').We Gerbilli are educated and cultured (we never drink wine straight from the bottle for instance) and take great exception to being mistaken for DNA incompatable rats.

OK Dp.A) never travel without itB) We'll have to wait and see who our audience connects with. Like The Supremes we're The Prozac Sisters. The question is:Which of us is Diana Ross and which of us (will become) The Prozac Sister? Oh, the excitement!PS You're not bringing anything feline I hope.

Hi Gerbillo - you mentioned Da Leo in Lucca - great place.Incidentally I'm a bit worried about you and DP being so-called health "professionals". Are you sure you don't need professional help from another branch of our revered service? You both seem a bit delusional. Diana Ross ... world tour...? There there dears, matron will be round with the medication in a minute.

Paddy & his wife are lying in bed & the neighbour's dog is barking like mad in the garden. Paddy says 'To hell with this!' & storms off..He comes back upstairs 5 mins later & his wife asks 'What did you do?'Paddy replies 'Ive put the dog in our garden, lets see how they like it!'

Have been to Bagni di Lucca on previous holiday in Lucca - it's a lovely area - but would you believe haven't managed to get there the whole year we've been living here - heads down and focusing on the building work. Otherwise we forget and think we're still on holiday! But we're going to do some exploring and days out now - or research for the B&B as I call it. So hopefully will be up your way soon.

There there dear. Deep breath. Pull yourself together. There's a well known brand of dry roasted and I suspect KP is one of them.We artistes sometimes have to suffer for our art. DavidUno and his friends are sooooooooo looking forward to our little soiree - we can't disappoint them now, can we?Chin up. Straight back. That's MUCH better now, isn't it?
