I wish this could be clarified for me, I would love to mention our apartment but that seems a no no, perhaps Valentina could explain what is acceptable?. I have read the notes re what is suitable, and am none the wiser.

We have a house and apartment in rural Marche, and would love the opportunity to see more of Italy, but we have 3 cats who are much loved and need looking after whilst we are away. Any members with property in Italy care to do a house swap?

We have had our two chickens Gilda and Ruby for 5 wks now, and were becoming dispondant as no eggs in sight, but this morning we have had our first one!, I know I am over-excited about this but just had to share!

I would just like to recount an excellent story of health care in South Marche for those who are fortunate to come under the region of Fermo (hopefully this will soon apply to our friends in the area of Amandola?) Suffering from blurred vision fo

We are compiling our Christmas book list for Amazon, has anyone got any favourites to recommend, especially ones with an Italian theme?. Have read most of Donna Leon and Michael Dibden, so something else would be appreciated.A

Morning S&JWe are in pretty much the same position, with about 20 vines, and I have been making grape juice, wash and put in a large pot, bring to the boil, simmer for 10mins, allow to cool and then bottle and put in the fridge. Keeps for about 5days, though never lasts that long.Use diluted or with a fizzy wine.PS. that little kitten is very lively and we may call her Houdini!A
The reason that many restaurants in Italy and by the same token in Marche are closed at present is because the owners themselves have gone on holiday after the big August holidays. They will be opening again within the next week or so, especially those around us which are not dependant on the tourist trade. But most exhibitions museums etc are open, the festas are going strong, and the "season" goes on really until the end of October. Of course this area is not one of mass tourist attraction, so you wont see the crowds or the tourist buses, rather you will be able to experience some historic and beautiful places away from the masses.A
Hello and welcome to the community, where in Italy would you like to visit if you had the chance?A
Plain cards are the norm Sarah when I was looking, but in Servigliano in the old square there is a shop (from the main front entrance tucked back on the left hand side) which does cards with no greeting, which are hand made with pressed flowers and just about do the job for you.A
All interesting stuff, but some big generalisations, not sure about "most" Italians living in awful flats and certainly in our area of Marche the Italian health service is fantastic. I could not praise them enough. It is very difficult to compare and contrast the two countries. There are areas in the UK as well as in Italy that suffer from poor local services, crime,ghettoised housing. I guess if you are not living in those areas then life is easier. I would suggest though from my experience that it is better to live with less money in this part of Italy than it would have been in England.We were talking to our guests last night who come from a pretty rural village in Suffolk, but are becoming increasingly concerned re the rise in crime, and do not go into the local town at night due to drunks and the violence that comes from heavy drinking.Its not a country I would be happy to return to.A
I think we have gone totally off thread but sounds delicious, perhaps Jean can give me the recipe, mine always used to turn out like burnt biscuits. Tonight I have cauliflower cheese and mashed potato , with rabbit (the Italian touch) and veg (all local). Comfort food after a day of pouring rain and thunder...better tomorrow?A
Perhaps people thought you were being enigmatic michael by leaving it blank?A
Brilliant Andrew, a good laugh on a wet and stormy afternoon.A
We never had any problems with Fermo when we registered for health cover over 3 years ago. We both have Tesseras for a 5 year period which were dated from the old PDS. What happens after that remains to be seen, hopefully by then they will have unified and corrected their interpretation of the regulations. Well done to Penny for taking this up.A
I just remember his terrible rages when I got it wrong (as ever) happy days!A
