Just wondering if there is anyone living in the Amandola/ Sarnano/ Force area who is not in Italy at the moment and has olives which need picking as we are hopefully going to the press next week.

We are just about to have our gas bombolla filled for the winter and were wondering if we could do a quick survey as last time our gas prices seemed much higher than our friends locally. Have just phoned Golden Gas and the price t

Well who could believe that is is a whole year since Karen found those 6 little puppies in a sack at the side of the road. To celebrate their first year, we decided to have a birthday party yesterday at Lago di Ruffino which was great fun.

Does anyone know why the posts are going on twice when I am only adding them once? Not sure what I am doing wrong?

A good Italian friend of ours had just lost her husband - they live in the UK, so we wanted to send them a card. We have been told locally that Italians would usually send a plain white card with a black stripe on the edge along with a flower.

At last, some hope for 94 families from the village of Onna. Homes built and bought by money raised by the Red Cross (so hopefully some of our fundraising has gone towards this).

Jessie loves playing stick in the woods, but really not sure where those long legs and huge ears have come from. Hope we can all get together for the pups 1st Birthday Party - will be great fun!

Now we have been moved to the Fermo area and not Ascoli, would it be worth finding out their views on the matter, or do you think it would be the same? Thanks for all your hard work on our behalf!
Thanks so much Gala and Carol - your recipes are winging their way to New Zealand right now - will report back how my friends father gets on! (her mother isn't too pleased at the idea).
Hope your daughter has a fantastic holiday Penny and that the weather brightens up for them - they seem to have bought the English rain with them today!
New Roundabout. We have a new roundabout in Comunanza (sorry A & R) and it has totally confused all the old locals. Half of them give way to trafic coming onto the roundabout and the other half don't. The other day we even saw someone stop on the roundabout to answer their mobile phone. Many of the older folk are probably not even aware of the law changing several years ago as there are not many roundabouts round our way!
Thanks Fox, I will pass on you information. By the sounds of things it is quite difficult to get a mortgage in Holland at the moment, so Italy may be the easier option!
Hi Chris, Welcome to the forum. We are not very far away - near Comunanza and we have a few members here who live in Montefalcone. We love the Chestnut Festa in Montefalcone and the following week in Smirillo. Looking forward to it coming round this year. Which is your favourite beach? - we like Pedaso as it is not quite as 'posh' as some of the other resorts! Also they have been spending quite a bit doing it up and there are now some lovely restaurants/ beach bars. Looking forward to your posts. Sarah and Mark
Twitter How many of us have Twitter accounts on here - that's one way we can get this out to as many people as possible. Have already posted it once and asked people to RT, so if we can all do the same then hopefully someone, somewhere may take notice. Any luck Russ with the newspapers?
Thanks for warning us Big Bertie Bro - guess you must have been a bit scared really - sounds frightening to me. The only thing I like about those piggy things is eating them. My step-brother Rusty had a prickly thing in his mouth the other day, shaking it around and it hurt his nose. Not much fun either! Looking forward to our Birthday party - do you think we will get any dog chews as pressies? Thank your M & D for the photo's - you are looking good. Love Jessie
You could always go mule trekking in the mountains instead A & A - do you know if the library is open every day? - still have to get down there soon!
2 months Gromit - wow that was fast. We applied and had to wait over 18 months to get our phone line installed and 6 missed appointments (on their part not ours!). We even cut a couple of days in Rome short as they told us they would be arriving in the morning, so we drove back like mad, only to find they phoned an hour after they should have been here to tell us they could not make it for another 4 months! However, since all the initial hassle, we have been amazed. As we are in the middle of no where, we thought we would only get dial up speeds. But once we finally got our posts installed and our line connected, Telecom chap checked the line and we now have 7 mb broadband. We have seen other packaged advertised but so far sticking with Alice for the internet and use Skype Eurpoe package (unlimited calls for £4 per month to anywhere in Europe) for our phone calls.
