Can anyone advise please, our UK TV which we bought over here appears to have given up the ghost (we get Sky Italia through it). Its sound is fine but the picture is just a thin bright line.

Self-catering at our place Badger!
Afterthought ....they probably went to The Little British Shop in Servigliano for the bacon!.
Guess you are writing tongue in cheek Badger....the B&B got excellent reviews in tripadvisor and the photos look wonderful!....bit of inadvertant promotion on your part!
Lovely things Ugo....good luck with selling, I especially love the elephant!.
We have 2 basins/sinks in the bathroom, and dare I say a bidet as well...each is occupied by a cat asleep escaping from the heat......one more use for a bidet!
The sinks are fantastic.....worth it just for them!.
We use ACI for our Italian car 65e per year....search the site under "breakdown cover".
Thanks Charlotte, so am I right in thinking that the will we made in the UK prior to becoming resident in Italy is no longer valid?.
Following on from Gala I have had success poaching figs in vino cotto and then freezing them, also stoned cherries poached in Masala freeze well. Am not a fan of using sugar or of bottled fruit or veg, so invested in a chest freezer, that might be your answer pamela.
Thanks for the information, seems orange alert in parts of Marche.Something about watering individual plants with bottles of water...or have I got lost in translation again !.
