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

Thanks very much Sebastiano will pm for details.A
First may I say turnip that I wish your relative all the best for his new life in Italy. I think that as in the UK health service dentistry is difficult to find, and on a limited pension it would be difficult to afford the fees of private care. I considered going back to England to my private dentist who was happy to see me, but decided to opt for private care here, which was probably one of the most distressing experiences I have ever had and cost me as much as the airfare to the UK and more. Might it be possible for your relative if he is visiting the UK to see a dentist there?. And if anyone in Marche knows of a pain free dentist let me know , had I been more aware at the time I would have reported him to his governing body.A
. Apologies posted twice,
An interesting point raised by Carole regarding immigrants, which those of us from the UK living here are.UNESCO defines a migrant as someone not living in their country of birth and who has moved for a wide variety of reasons, social, economic, political. Many move and expect to return, many work to send home money to families in their country of birth. Talking to Italian friends they say that much of the work Italians no longer wish to do for example building work is carried out by nationals of another state, perhaps we could compare this with health workers in the UK?. There was post 2nd ww many Italians moving to the UK, America and Argentina, all looking for a better life for themselves and family. Perhaps we need to remember this when the issue of immigration is raised and view it with a more humanitarian eye.A
Thanks for the pics, lovely to see him growing up into such a handsome boy.A
I think they were all just mucking around, and having a bit of light hearted fun (?) or a bit of "lively debate" depending on where you are coming from. Curried custard mmmm perhaps pass on that one.A
According to my latest guest you run around naked only pausing for a pee on the gravel!. (he is only 2yrs old).A
Sorry Conrad, a bit late with my welcome, but welcome all the same!A
