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.

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).

Thanks so much everyone - lots to look into. Have totally forgotten how to find my Alice wireless 26 letter password for other people to use the internet - Penny if you are there???? Sorry to be a pain but I know you sent the link to the website before. Thanks
After last nights BBQ, we have now raised a grand total of €2213.57 for the L'Aquila Earthquake Fund so thanks so much to everyone who supported us and remember you can still donate on the Just Giving website.
Thanks Chris, you never know, we may even have another one!!!
Thanks to another very generous donation, we have now raised a total of €1978.57. Looking forward to the BBQ tomorrow night - starting at 6.30pm - hope you can come along and help us raise even more money!
Thanks Simon and Jo - we got there in the end! Do hope you can make it to the BBQ this Friday if you are free - and anyone else of course who may be in the Le Marche/ Amandola area - would be great to see you. We are just trying to make a few extra euro's for L'Aquila and have a fun evening too. Let us know if you can make it.
Welcome Julie - Why not try Le Marche - there are lot of olive trees here and the scenary is stunning, very 'real life' and totally unspoilt.
Russ/ Shirlitalia, We used to use Auto Europe when coming over too and always found them very reasonable. Some guests staying at the moment hired a car for 3 weeks for just ove £240 from them! Very good value considering there is ment to be a shortage of rental cars and prices have gone up in general. Just one tip - it you use the UK site rather than the USA one, I have always found the prices to be much cheaper.
Hi Penny - Yes they are back again - when I looked the other day there wasn't a single flight after October and I went through every day. Maybe this is it now- the winter schedual may be now loaded. Thanks
Thanks so much Carole
Welcome Conrad, and hope you enjoy the Community. Well I am from Nuthall so not far away (Mum still lives there) - small world isn't it? We moved to Le Marche a couple of years ago, after buying our house here 8 years ago and renovating it and have never looked back. It is certainly an unspoilt part of Italy, with stunning countryside, mountain walks, peace and quiet, very uncommercialised and has great beaches too! If ever you want to visit let us know - would be good to catch up on all the news from 'home' - hear the IKEA trading estate has been expanding over these last few years!
