Did anyone just feel that earth tremor at 11pm. Here near Amandola it was very strong but short, the first we have felt for a while. Hope this does not mean there is worse to come.

Had a great meal in Da Cicco in Gualdo last night. Although it was 10pm when we arrived, Michelle the lovely waitress was very helpful and friendly (she is Romanian) and spoke very good Italian and English.

The devastating earthquake that struck the region of L'Aquila on April 6th 2009 is long gone from newspaper headlines and television reports.

Just been thinking about childrens tickets - I don't think €5 is unreasonable after all kids can very often eat more than adults!!!Also we think they should get 5 tickets like at the Ascoli festa - 2 x meaty things, 1 x salad bar, 1 x slice pizza (if we are doing that - or 3 meaty things or a baked potato????) and 1 x drink ticket. What do you think?
Damiano,Just bought some 'Compo Score 25 EC Fungicide Polivalente' from the consortium on the corner near the new roundabout in Comunanza for the peach leaf curl. It costs €9 and comes in a 20ml bottle which you dilute and spray on the leaves.Hope this helps.Sarah and MarkPS Did you ever get to the concert in Ancona - have seen your listing - quite fancy the AC-DC tribute band!
We originally had a bank account with BNL and got charged a huge amount each month so someone mentioned BP acount. The fee is per yer no matter how many transfers/ bills paid out. We have a Barclays Euro account in the UK and transfer money through that. Barclays charge £15 per transfer (3-4 days) or £20 express (1-2 days), so if you don't do it very often, its not too bad. They also issue a Euro cheque book, which you can use to py into your BancoPosta account. There is no fee for this, but you do need to plan ahead as it can take up to 3 weeks to clear. Hope this helps.
Kevan,We have a BancoPosta account with Maestro card and have no problems using this in Comunanza. It is €39 a year. Not bad and no hassle!
Sarah who works at Cicerone, the publishers of the book have very kindly donated a copy for our fundraising BBQ on the 21st June. She will post it as soon as I put my order in for the books so if anyone else wants one, could they let me know as soon as possible - we are getting a 25% discount of the publishing price as well as free delivery to Italy!
That's so wierd Gala - can't understand how we all seem to be seeing different things????
Well I used to go to all the Notts Forest games until I was 16, so I can't really comment - imagine letteing a young girl out on her own to football matches these days!
