Well we just can't get Jessie out of the water and to celebrate her 9 month Birthday, we went down to our lovely Lago di Ruffino for a swim!

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.

Please can we make a list of raffle tickets bought and add them on here when we have been notified. If we can try and just keep this post for the raffle ticket listing so that it is easier to add up. Thanks.

Thanks Valentina - I know I didn't push the button more than once, but was wondering about if you add it to two or more different topics, so that may well be the cause!
And your IS the BEST A !!!
Have sent you a message with a couple of ideas Donna and Jimmy - you will love Le Marche - it is really beautiful and we were just saying the other day that some parts are so much like New Zealand!
Hi Jacquie, We always drive down to Le Marche via Austria - love the route, even though it is slightly longer. The quickest we did it was 25 hours from North Yorkshire to Amandola non-stop. The route avoids Switzerland (we had problems at the boarder there once and it took 2 hours to empty the car and re-load it again, even though it was just bits of furniture we were bringing!). We go through France, Belgium, Luxumbourg (fill up with the cheapest fuel we have found anywhere, just off the motorway), Germany, Austria (via the Brenner Pass) then down past Lake Garda - itis a lovely, varied drive and doesn't get too boaring. There are some great hotels just off the Brenner Pass and the Austrian food is just wonderful - we also call in at the supermarket to stock up on supplies of hauswurst and other delicious bits and pieces we don't have here in Le Marche on the way down. Let us know if you want more details of our route. Happy driving!
Thanks Penny - just tackling the car insurance again and it seems there are 2 boxes for the Bonus/Malus
or
Classe CU (Bonus/Malus) di assegnazione
Sorry but do you put 9 in both as it won't let me continue without filling both boxes in.
Many thanks.
Carole, thanks so much - new I could rely on you! That sounds perfect. It was very sad as Vince left Italy for the UK when he was 6 I think, and never returned. Such a shame he did not see more of this wonderful country.
Thanks Angie - bought one of the plain cards yesterday and have attached a flower to it, so hopefully that will be ok.
Thanks so much Carole and Ram - had a quote for Italsure and it was €1261 - Direct line, so far around €800 but then I am probably not putting in the correct bonus/ malus figure. Looks like I need to call my UK insurer to find out what confirmation I can get from them. Will carry on trying!
So if I have been driving for 23 years and never ever claimed, but only changed insurers this last year, will they ask for proof and if they do, how can I prove it? Thanks for your advice.
La classe CU di Bonus/Malus ha beneficiato dell’agevolazione prevista dalla “legge Bersani” Not sure about this bit either! Thanks.
