Cancelling a Eurotunnel Booking
I have had to cancel a return trip on Eurotunnel [Car + 2 + Dog], as I have to go into hospital for an op.
The booking was 'non-refundable'.
IMU - Its still around
I thought this had disappeared in the new tax system, but my Comune website says the first payment for 2014 is due by 16th June
Looks like the days of the easy/cheap trip to italy through Switzerland are numbered.
Apparently, the Swiss government has decided to raise the cost of the vignette to 100 Swiss Francs for 2015.
Petrol prices in France are now comparable with the UK, except on the French Autoroutes.
For a change this year we drove down to Italy via Besancon [avoiding most tolls by taking some good french non-motorways.]
In today's Guardian
Ryanair have announced their credit card will now be liable to the same charges as other credit cards - so the end of no charge bookings

Well, as nobody has posted, I'll give my response as a non-resident. (I have a holiday property in Piemonte).
Piemonte is a large (to Brits) area with differing characteristics. There are mountainous areas, (north and west), beautiful lake areas such as Maggiore and Orta, and lots of flatter areas. You really need to focus in on possible areas to live - weather varies across the region so you need to get statistics online for specific areas.
Also, if you want to 'do the woodcraft shop" thing, perhaps you need the touristy areas such as the West Side of Maggiore or the east side of Orta. You'd probably need to live a bit away from your shop because of property prices and space availability.

My Comune emails me the F24 , I sign it, email signed copy to my Italian bank who pay it
Well, the filtering checks don't work that well - it seems that every other post (by newbies - but not the one above) is an essay writing advert
Only thing you now need driving down is the Covid Pass for entry to France (and possibly Italy)
My place - used about 10 weeks a year, costs approx €600 for Council Tax and €180 for the TARI Rubbish Tax.
For the TARI I get collections of rubbish bags, four or 5 times a week from the front gate
We live in a small 'hamlet' of approx 20 houses, down a narrow road. Collection is by a one man mini tipper truck which returns to a central area and tips its load into a "normal sized" rubbish lorry. This system of mini tipper operates throughout the commune area, even in the ,town', because of narrow streets
