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.

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???

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

I've posted this article in Aceto's thread as well - wrong country but heading in the right direction! http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jun/09/british-expats-france-supermarket-deliveries

Mr Bean???
Just to add to teh above update, all the information is now available on http://camp59survivors.wordpress.com/2010/05/ That will take you straight to "L'Informatore on the Davison rescue" and after reading the first part, if you click on "Read the rest of this entry" you'll (surprise surprise) get to read the rest. And some further inside info - as a result of this publicity a fluent English speaking grand-nephew of Giovanni Bellazzi had contacted John - and informs him that Giovanni's siter is still alive at 103! I've wrned him that he is going to be doing a lot of eating during his August reunion! I hope this encourages others trying to trace their fathers' and grandfathers' experiences in Italy in WW2
I've no complaints re Ryanair, but I use it all the time and see it as a matter of honour to beat them at their own game (baggage being a continual game of catch-up). And its the only service to my nearest airports I can see that those who nneed more help might find it lets them down. But I agree with the overall premise that you get what you pay for and that should always be borne in mind when booking.
Love it. More please - culinary or otherwise......
...your thread has been hijacked, though maybe everyone's ramblings will help consolidate your thoughts. Anyway - Yummmm - I'm doing that chicken thing (presumably Flemish - or is it Walloon - can't remember which are the non-French speakers) and I'm DEFINITELY trying "tagliatelle allo Marmite" Really interesting to hear an Italian view with a nod to Britishness. Any more cross-cultural musings Raggio??
I couldn't find anything on the UK news about this - only a comment on my Facebook from Italians incensed - presumably by the wasted time, effort and money. Or maybe that some jobs for the boys are now under threat!
I've pm'd you
