MMM, we pay a guy 60euros once a year to cut our meadow, thats an awful lot of cuts for 4.000e. Bet you just want an excuse for a quad bike!.

There goes the community!
A friend has had excellent service from Green Flag, they came to his rescue when a wheel fell off in France whilst he was on his way out to his home in Italy, arranged all transportation and car hire within a few hours, he was very impressed with them.
Deet based all the time, Skin so Soft did nothing to help me, and in the warmer months Deet goes on in the morning with a top-up in the evening, or after showers, plus plug ins in the house, eek had forgotten the downside to life in Italy!. Interesting though re blood types, another O here.
I know Brent Lodge, used to live not far from them in Sussex, have done a Like on FB.
Oh I am so sorry!.
I think you need to make friends with a local garage, who will be the person who MOTs and services your car, and fixes any other problems you may have, they should also have the facility for supplying and fitting your winter tyres and storing as appropriate to the season, there are people on this forum closer to Amandola than us, hopefully they can advise.
Well done Sabina, glad to have a happy ending.
Well said Steve, and thank you Gala for reminding me of "the Mission"an amazing film, which I have seen twice.And thank you as ever for your contributions to the forum, we must be founder members by now.
