Questions Asked
I thought I would start a new thread on this for easy access.
Anyone have any idea on pricing for an external chimney from a pellet stove to reach above the roof line on the 2nd floor of a house. I am posting on behalf of a friend who is not well enough to do her own research, so forgive me for being vague.
I have a very good friend who is being harassed by a previous partner by phone.I remember in the UK that British Telecom had steps they could take to prevent nuisance calls of this nature.
Following on from another thead, what will happen to the ever increasingly aged farming communities, now that their children no longer want to work on the land?
So now being in possession of our permanent residency, apart from health care issues (and the rather nice baseball hat from the Sindico) what other advantages can we expect ?.
An Aesops fables moment (OK I know that was grapes....) I went down to check on our large cherry tree, bent over with the weight of cherries this year and surprised two large adult foxes doing the same thing.

We didnt feel it here John, close to where Pennys daughter will be staying though I am not reliable as whilst the big one started I was asleep, woke up briefly and had to watch the news to see the devastation, we were fortunate, but certainly felt the aftershocks days later.A
I wonder how much time its going to take me to learn.I find I understand much more Italian than I am able to speak, and it does depend on who I am with. I can spend hours with my friend Paola who speaks alittle English, so between the two of us we seem to chatter on with no problem, but with others I am lost. I really do admire the English people here who are fluent in Italian, but doubt I will ever achieve that, was rubbish at languages at school and that trait has followed me here.A
Love it!A
I agree with Anne, there seems little point in trying to create a"bowling green" lawn in a rural Italian property. And the prisine grass will soon be compromised by all the seeds that blow in from surrounding fields, not to mention the cost of irrigation. far better to strim the area and go for a more homespun less costly look.(well thats our excuse!)A
Hum, have googled and answered my own question re location of cafes!A
This is very much like the recipe given to me by a friend whose father was born in Calabria. Diced potato, any vegetables you might want to put in, but only a splash of olive oil, some herbs, a tin of tomatos and then slowly bake covered in the oven. Very easy and can be left alone whilst you get on with something else. Good idea to make full use of the oven so I would roast some chicken pieces in herbs and olive oil, and bake some figs in vinto cotto.Then you are free to sit outside with a glass or two of wine.!A
Thanks Sibbillini and S&J Euronics here I come.A
Off you go then Sarah, but its not on my request list. I used to work with a guy that loved it , much as Carols husband did, I think he baked it in the oven?. My one experience of it was in a pub in Nottingham many years ago and it was served as a bar snack , I think raw in vinegar, that was a surprise.A
I find the odd splash of oil/wine plus the passage of 3 cats gives a very authentic look to my floors, not one to be desired though.A
S&J could you explain how the internet radio works please, I am useless at anything techy, so simple answers would be useful!thanksA
