I access BBC iPlayer through My Private Network and it works absolutely perfectly. Some time ago (I think maybe 12/18 months or so ?), some kind soul explained on this forum how to extend the viewing time by renaming the downloaded file. Can anyon

Sadly, it looks like some people will again be struggling to get here and/or go back for the bank holiday weekend coming up next week, hopefully a lot of rescheduling can be undertaken? As a point of interest, the following website shows the lack

Prior to buying our little bit of Italy, I insisted on having a certificate of habitation fully signed and sealed. Does this have to be renewed at any point or is it only if I sell sometime in the future? S

Does anyone know the tree here in Italy called ............(I think!)...............'amoro'............OR 'umbrello'? We have one tree that sprouts like a 'good-un', there are others around here in Le Marche, but every year they are SEV

Apologies for the nature of this subject ! Having a great time here in Le Marche, but one thing that has me stumped is what I can only imagine is some sort of 'poop' (for want of a better word). VERY regularly(maybe weekly), we can be sitting on t

You will need a UK sky account, OR, someone elses, that I'm pretty sure of ! S
I have to say I would always comment IF I had any views, but I have never been to or heard of the place! Enjoy it regardless ! S
Yup we did have a secondary bashing, but that was a couple of days ago. Now and for the next week or so it is looking like a slow thaw is underway (great !). It was about a two week bombardment which left us bunkered down pretty much unable to get the car out as we had about a metre of the white stuff. Our Comune were superb along with the protezione civile people. Also of great help to ourselves were members of this Forum who offered great advice and support. S
Seems strange that you cannot 'delete' a post ! S
sebastiano........... Likewise, trenches all around our house, our woodpile accessible. Sorry to hear about the snow chains, you're not the first to suffer with this problem. It LOOKS like we are over the worst (??!!),forecast here (as of today) is cold but sunny,so we might get a slow thaw. S
Blimey, our cat doesn't like snow when it is three feet deep ! Our Comune have been in touch twice now asking if we are alright, if we need bread, medicines or anything else. They've also have had a digger down our track twice to give us a chance to get out. How good is that? S
Hi sagraiasolar, Thanks for the tip, next year I will certainly be more prepared. No excuse for me, but it's my first diesel and a lesson for the future. I replied earlier saying that a tray of warm ashes under the car seems to have done the trick. I know the next 72hrs are bringing with them more snow and again very cold at night. Hopefully, my latest 'blanketting' exercise will help. S
Hi getsett, thanks for asking, I took this mornings ashes (warm/hot) from the fire and placed them on a metal tray under the car, an hour or so later, the car started up...................great ! I have now wrapped the car up more than before and hopefully I can keep it warmer until we can get out and about again. There doesn't look like any real thawing weather here for another 7/10 days. Some very kind friends down the road from us popped down to the supermarket to update our provisions, so all in all we're coping. ( a sort of meals on wheels !) S
Thanks for these Gala Placidia..............to add...........if you see any yellow snow, it is NOT limoncello ! S
My Sedici is a diesel and is parked under an open ended car port; I thought I might try getting out tomorrow to maybe stock up on a few more supplies (if the stores have any !). Car started fine (after sitting still for a week), BUT............... then it cut out and now won't start, battery is fine,..............I assume the diesel is 'frozen' ? No idea what to do when I do try again !!! S
