Yet another incentive from those great people at Osteria del Lago at San Ruffino.They have opened a small English library, novels non fiction and some reference books.The idea is that the novels can be swapped or that you can add to their numbers

Hi I wish your wife a speedy recovery. Just a thought, rather than buy to let in Italy, which seems especially if you may not have the language skills a difficult operation , that you buy and let in the UK?, where from friends experiences there does seem to be a demand for properties. I do like Tartuffas idea of giving it a trail run before you and your family commit yourselves, best wishes and good luck with all the research. A
Interesting Jane, when we came over our vet said no calming drugs, the animal can become too sedated and then may vomit, with devastating results, especially if travelling by air in the hold. Our 3 cats just went into stupor mode, and were fine but subdued. Other friends have had the cats sitting on their knees as thay drove down, too scary, it depends on the animal, but I would be concerned re sedation. A
Thanks Carole for your thoughts, not much fun around here today and we are all worried. Everytime you think its over another one seems to start. Sounds like an express train going through the house, and then the shakes. I hope a peaceful night for all friends and neighbours in our area of Marche tonight. A
