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 don't know how to attach files here - but I recently discovered an account of the only occasion where partisans directly and victoriously attacked a Jewish concentration camp. It happened at Camp 59, Servigliano in S Marche in May 1944, which had been a PoW camp up to the Armistice in Sept 43 The partisans called in Allied bombers who breached the walls and they then evacuated the Jewish internees who were then looked after by the local "Committees of Liberation" If anyone wants a copy of the account given by the Jewish-Italian leader of the Monte San Martino resistance, Vito Volterra, pm me. Or someone tell me how to attach it here!
Thankyou poeta You might be interested in this book "In the Prison of His Days" by Norman Davison http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prison-His-Days-Memoirs-Captured/dp/0956007589/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271772553&sr=1-1 and http://camp59survivors.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/gunner-g-norman-davisons-memoirs/ which recounts Norman's capture, imprisonment and then assistance by partisans to get over the border into Switzerland. His son John has written to a local resistance organisation: http://www.vigevanoeresistenza.it/site/home/una-mail-dal-regno-unito-15-3-10 If you're in the area, you might look them up. If you'd like to speak to John - who would I'm sure love help with his research - let me know All the best Anne
Hi Geoff Not your prison camp, but for a mass of info regarding PoWs and their Italian helpers you could look here: http://camp59survivors.wordpress.com/ and this more general site: http://www.pegasusarchive.org/pow/frames.htm and this: http://www.prisonerofwar.org.uk/ There will probably be Italian sites regarding the Resistance in and around Milan. You could try writing to the Milan section of the National Association of Partisans: Comitato Regionale ANPI LOMBARDIA - via San Marco 49 - 20121 Milano. tel. 02 76020620 Fax 02 784675. e-mail: info@anpilombardia.191.it BTW "Duomo" is the Italian for Cathedral - it seems your father was sheltered in Milan Cathedral
Good luck Brian Where in Italy will you be looking?
Thanks Mark. I had a couple of hours to spare before flying out of Rome Ciampino, so though I'd give my son and his friend a bit of exposure to ancient Rome in the form of a walk along the Appian Way as reached from the airport. As we walked along, with me expounding as to ancient tombs of Roman nobility, it was soon clear they were seriously distracted by all the ladies of the night plying their trade in the middle of the afternoon. Sounds like Ostia Antica would have been a better bet!
WOT! So evolution really IS only a theory????

...so I use this as a workaround. Which isn't ideal, but I'm afraid I can't get too worked up over something so trivial
