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.

Great idea - go for it SI - how will the raffle work? Need to get our thinking caps on again!
Looks like the general opinion is that the top up card is the way to go - thanks everyone - I will be off to the Post Office to find out more about getting on in the morning.
:p Moxie - Do you know you are the top poster on the forum (well after Ronald that is)!!! You need to spend more time in the pub. x
Yes only playing as we got excited when we saw we could upload photos and that was the first pic we came across. Will have a look later for some more 'rougher lions' to suit us better, David!
Welcome to our new home Badger - hope to meet you soon!
Thank you everyone for your advice so far. We don't have a bank account in Italy as the fees are way too high, but we have a Banco Posta account (only €39 per year fees) which only has a Maestro card attached to it. This can't be used with Paypal unfortunately. Elicat, will have a look at Barclays, thanks for the info and will definitely find out about the top-up card option - thanks Bill for the link.
Hi Ronald - You are very welcome to be an honoury member of the Red Lion and it's good to see you here.Always loved Eurovision as a child - didn't see the serious side to it then!Yes Bring Back Italy Campaign - who is going to start that one????
Whilst you are there Ronald, is there a way to add a video inside rather than starting a new thread (as in our Welcome section)? Can't see a way of doing it yet? Thanks I know you are very busy!
Woops - just drank the last of the prosecco - will get another bottle in in time for your next visit. Do you like tonights entertainment?
Anne - we went to the Smerillo Festa the following week as well and there were some delicious cakes there too - all filled (in many different ways) with chestnut. Looking forward to this years Autumn Festivals.
