I'm planning my route down for a months visit in July. I travel through Switzerland as its a convenient route to the Lake Maggiore/Lake Orta area.

I logged on this morning to my local webcam, to look at the snow on the ski slopes. [When I'm in UK I like to see something of what its like at my place in the hills]

Loved the note about changing the locks!
I have just got back from my latest trip to Italy, and thought some of you might be interested to hear about a Swiss hotel that we stayed in on the way down.
For many years now I have used the likes of 'mappy', 'via michelin' etc for calculating different routes down to Italy - for us its a part of our holiday, so we don't always want to take the quickest/shortest route down. We prefer to vary t
Today I received an email from the Swiss Travel Centre. The relevant portion is;-
I've just driven down and back for a [much too] short holiday, and feel that an update on how fuel prices look on the way down would be useful to fellow travellers
P&O have introduced a new ferry on the Dover - Calais route - its called the Spirit of Britain.
They seem to have a special offer on at the moment [on this ship only]
Does Tomato soup exist in Italy?
We were feeling a bit under the weather when we went out to Italy 2 weeks ago.

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.
Good luck with your search

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
