Hi there Got a bit of field which needs cutting about twice a year. The cost and hassle of getting someone locally to do this means that we are considering getting a 2nd hand quad bike and flail mower and doing it ourselves.

My Burgon and Ball spade and fork have arrived in Italy having been sent by Capital Gardens http://www.capitalgardens.co.uk/ who were happy to ship them out for about £20.

I've just received several emails from andrea@istos.it telling me my membership of several groups on this site has been accepted. Has a mod woken up or am I being spammed/phished/f**ked???

having just looked at some fab photos of Rifugio Franchetti in Abruzzo, I'm formulating a plan to visit some/all of the refuges in my area of S Marche/Abruzzo. There are several problems with this:1. I'm about as fit as Bernard Manning was2.

Thanks to whoever it was who recommended this book. A beautiful and elegiac account of old ways of life in the Ligurian mountains. Without being at all sentimental

Democracy is by definition flawed - to quote dear Winston - it's the least worst option. So on that basis I'm not sure Italy's system even counts as a democracy - especially if it comes below China in any listings!!
I recommend you talk to http://www.philipwhitefreight.com/Phil_White_Freight/Welcome.html V efficient - have used him a couple of times and will do again
He'll probably contact you himself anyway, but you could do worse than contact phil white at http://www.philipwhitefreight.com/Phil_White_Freight/Welcome.html He's coseperlacasa on here. We've used him a couple of times and would highly recommend him
Thanks to Wikipedia I've answered my own question "Il Resto del Carlino is an Italian local newspaper based in Bologna, and is one of the oldest newspapers in Italy. Its rather evocative name means "the change you get from a Carlino," the smallest part of the Papal bajocco, which was legal tender at the time, when a sheet of local news was given out in shops to make up for any change owing. It is indirectly owned by a group of Italian industrialists, and reflects their political stance"
Many thanks for this Penny. Does this mean I have to write to all the utility companies with a change of address??
I recommend the wine bar Penny mentions. You can have a full-on meal or just bits and pieces together with wine-tasting (it's an enoteca) And you have a wonderful view of the piazza
Unless you are absolutely fixated on the house in question I'd say don't give it any more thought. It's not your problem and you shouldn't get dragged in to any argument I agree that you should check out the Abruzzo forums. I don't know the ins and outs of different types of agenst, though I would probably advise using a well-established local Italian agency if possible. Apart from anything else they will have all the local contacts you will need to eg open bank accounts etc. There's no doubt that buying abroad is a scary process. I don't know if you're planning on buying house for restoration, but if so, that roller coaster ride has its fair share of terrifying moments!
When you say "lounging", sprostoni, is that the sort that involves a comfy seat and a carafe or two???
If you type in pow camps uk into Google you'll get quite a few sites which may give you some leads. You could try this one for starters http://www.pegasusarchive.org/pow/frames.htm Good luck
Absolutely agree with most of your points BSpice - . Have to say though that in the scheme of things the cost of an Esse stove compared to the total restoration costs was a very small percentage. I'm just a hardworking girl who has to look to her pennies like anyone else. Actually the kitchen is just out of sight in the photo. And as an AGA owner of 20 years' standing I'd have to say that my Esse boils water just as quick as the AGA ever did!
