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

One of the main topics at the G8 summit held in L'Aquila this week will be the environment and climate change and a drive to reduce carbon emissions. Mr B might be well advised to look closer to home on this subject.

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
Al, your wicked sense of humour again!, 10euros in the earthquake fund?A
What do I rub it in?, ha ha Sarah, I may find another job for you, so watch out!Ax
I hope you all appreciate that Robert and I have writers cramp, but dont let that put you off, buy more tickets!Ax
Am not fibbing, have just checked and it has been reported in the English and Italian press, get that coat Jinty.A
No really Jinty, but I heard at the market, so who knows?!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
Thank you for all the very helpful advice Penny, lets just hope its not all changed in 2 years time when we apply for ours!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
Thanks Gala, you will be pleased to hear the raffle money is coming in, lets hope the trickle turns into a deluge!, lots of fantastic prizes!A
