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!

Kevan you could move over to my concerns re hornets, they are the only thing that concern me here, I actually like those waspy things with dangly legs that fly upside down and lay the little mud cocoons behind pictures. In fact on intrepid one is doing it now as I type. But hornets are a different thing altogether!.A

I heard in the market place today that George Clooney has just bought a house in Porto Recanati, now dont get too excited but I am sure Sarah would like to invite him to our BBQ, should he be in residence!. (the Italian friend that told me said she would have preferred Brad Pitt, some people are never satisfied!)A

Italian friends think it must be lonely living down our white road, too far away to shout good morning to us, but we prefer to live out of the village in our old and draughty farmhouse. They prefer to be amid the bustle of village life , some in their posh convenient apartments, easy to clean, easy to heat, neighbours all around them. This also applies to other areas of their life, in a large restaurant they all prefer to huddle together, public benches are close together and face each other, to facilitate a nice chat. I think us from colder climes are just coded to find our own space.A
