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?

Does anyone know of a computer specialist in the Montegiorgio Marche area who can visit the house and sort out our rubbish connection on what is laughingly called broadband (snailband here), thanks

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

Your figs must be early , ours are only just forming, but I will try your recipe, sounds interesting. Previously I have made fig jam, will dig out the instructions.A

Very funny Andrew even I could translate that, we could introduce Sarahs chickens to our new friend whom we hope will be attending the BBQ.A

I think the idea was Al that different provinces appear to interpret  the rules in a different way. And this was Pennys trip through the officialdom in the area of Marche in which she and other interested community members live.A

Wheres that grazie button John!, agree broadly with what you say. I remember the first time we went to the comune we were told by the wicked witch of the west to go away, couldnt we see she was busy writing a letter!, so I sat down until she had finished and she has never done it again!. Having said that everyone else is very helpful, shame she is the gatekeeper, and the public scowl of the community. So the message is to not be put off, but to be polite but insistant. For us ,I guess we have been fortunate in our reception from other comune employees, but had it been otherwise with eveyone being obstructive it would have been a very different situation.A

Thank you Gala, I think it will be a case of 3rd time lucky.A

Interesting what you say John, our comune knows best, and if it is in our favour, then who are we to say it is not correct.?. Have visited there today to sort out various issues and as ever the mayor was there big hand shakes and smiles. I think that in such a small community as ours and with a forward looking administration our path has been made easy. There have been other issues when we thought we would be dismissed, but it seems a phone call from the mayor can have amazing powers. I would be interested to find out what these might be on such a local level? If anyone can define them.A

Very sorry to hear this Helen, we had thought that we covered all options, we had emailed and phoned and posted on the community, a message to all those that were going to attend I regret that you did not receive a notice of the event being cancelled.Just after the cut off time , when we had made the decision there was a huge storm here and all communication was down for 4 hrs, We did our best to let everyone know, regret that you had a wasted trip, but we are trying to do our best under difficult circumstances. We hope for better weather next weekend.A

Thanks for the good wishes Carole, the forecast we study with baited breath is for Comunanza, Marche, so lets hope it is going to be 3rd time lucky!.We have already done amazingly well with the sale of raffle tickets well over 1000 euros so the BBQ will be the icing on the cake. So on a positive note , another week in which to buy them, and the prizes are just so generous, just remember to put BBQ on the justgiving site and I will add eveyone into the draw.thanksAngie
