Whilst sometimes simple words seem to pass me by, it is amazing what can be plucked out of a distant memory!.

Just a warning for everyone, a few days ago a friend was badly stung by wasps that had formed a nest inside an outside shed, he was attacked when entering and required urgent hospital treatment.

I have a very good friend coming out to Italy to spend 2 months touring, and hopefully buying a small second home here.

Trying to find my way around this new community, and am slightly better than I was, but with so many threads I am now having difficulty in remembering which one I posted in, so searching for an answer is a task in itself, any easy way to track you

Sarah we have Pegas delivering next week, will ask them re your queries...or rather Robert will!Ax
Thanks for that Steve, good to get a definative answer.A
Stanstead - Ancona flight cancelled today, hence friends now trying to get a flight back to the UK from Bologna, hope they make it.A
You are right Andrew, both our boilers are on a yearly service contract, which also includes free emergency visits (but not parts). Each has its own book which is stamped after each service, I understand spot checks can be made to see if this is up to date, but dont know how often it happens. The cost is 60euros per boiler with the company we use, who are excellent.A
Hopefully when you do finally get your discount they will back date it to the time of the initial application , they did with us. Took months though...sorry!A
We gave up all our pet insurance when we moved here to Marche nearly 4 yrs ago, and vets bills when compared with the UK are much less, we have 4 cats, one of whom will be 20 next year (Italy obviously suits her), but I believe there are regulations with regard to dog ownership and new legistation is coming in, I am sure one of the dog owning community can advise on that .What I would advise is you research for a good vet in your area, before you have cause to use them, there is nothing worse than having an emergency and not knowing whom to phone or where to go. Hopefully again someone on here may be able to advise.A
With Ram on this one, I live here, pay taxes, use the services, why should I not have an opinion on the politics of the country?. And for that matter an opinion on other things Italian?. Sounds as if MichaelM would allow no dissent or questions to be asked.A
Just another suggestion, put your kettle on the gas hob, but hang onto your English iron, friends complain italian ones dont get hot enough (bit like their weird toasters so hang on to that too). Its just a matter of learning not to have too much electrical stuff in use at the same time, and soon becomes habit.A
Lollita, it would be far more helpful if you could elaborate on your enigmatic replies, then we might all learn something useful, instead of pondering on exactly what you mean!A
Pretty trees!, for the authentic prune you need to go to the local feramenta and equip yourself with this evil looking serrated knife, if you explain what its for they will guide you to the right ones, sorry dont know what its called, but its what we and the neighbours use, its almost like a mini saw in appearance.happy pruning and be careful about whiplash from the smaller branches as they can damage your eyes, very painful.A
