Went to see this movie last night in Oxford.  Probably one of the slowest films with the least happening that I have ever seen - but actually it was perfect!  Shot in Calabria - in part in Serra San Bruno - everyone will recognise a little vignett

Noddy, have you got the Esse Ironheart??  I thought I was the only one crazy enough to lug it over from the UK!I agree that it can take the place of central heating for most of the winter.  And it makes a good banana bread too!

. . I'd say that Jepsonclough 's directions are spot-on, except that you need to take a definite RIGHT before the Bar Stazione - towards Montefortino.  Then Stefano's is on the left after the Conad and as described by Sprostoni PS - Sebastiano says elsewhere on this site that he's got a 25% discount sale on at the mo

....I mean all in.  for instance, we've just paid £44 for valet parking Thurs - Tues.  The longstay at Stansted would've been £40.   I book through Aadvark.

I can get out of my car at Stansted and be having my breakfast in Frankie and Bennie's having gone through security within 5-10 mins.That's due to online checkin and valet parking (which ony costs about a fiver more than the long-stay)True, I'm hanging around at the aiport for a couple of hours, but by the time I've ha breakfast, been to Boots & WH Smiths, got to the gate and settled down with the paper, it doesn't seem bad at allI've always said that you must remember to factor in waiting tme when deciding wich form of transport is the quickest.  But I must say having discovered the checkin and parking thingies, the airport wait is pretty hassle-free now

Although Amandola isa bit of a way from you, I would have a chat with Stefano Lucozzi before committng to bringing a stove frm UK. If your main concern is cost I'm not sure there'd be a lot in it by the time you've factored in the transport.Stefano also has a showroom in Tolentino.We did bring over a stove ( nearly killed us) but that was becuse wewanted a specficmake not available out in Italy.  We bought a second one from Stefano for about E800Nodoubt there are lots of other places you could buy a stove over here, but Stefno does speak v good English and is very helpful
