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

I don't know if it is me (or my computer !) but .....................every now and then, it is like this forum goes to sleep. I was only thinking the other week how fantastically useful the forum is for getting and donating information, research,

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

I don't dislike the lizards that bask in the sun and race around (and seem to bite each others tails?) the garden and rockery that we have.................but, this year we seem to have LOADS more than previ

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

A site called (I think) go connect provides an indirect link via the net......I'll find the real name for you.....12/13 euros per month
Hi,Bearing in mind I am (was) looking for Italy TO English connections (I don't know the New Zealand factoring!).............but this link does it for me !http://www.powerconnections.co.uk/convert_eurotouk_PC8338.htmMaybe best going to their home page for the New Zealand issue?Good LuckS
alan h..............Roaming fox link looks perfick!..............Good man,Cheers,S
Thanks Alan H............It's the Italian to UK adaptors I'm finding hard to source, thanks for the info though, (I'll take a screwdriver with me in case I need to change plugs!)Cheers,S
Yes it was a good one, I was up and about it was circa 5.50am and measured 4.6 ......20km north of Macerata................details on the following link.http://openmap.rm.ingv.it/gmaps/rec-big/en/Index.htm#last20S
Sounds awful, I feel for you!We had some work done in our house that required plastering and concreteing and.............. for two days water was LITERALLY dripping down the walls ! The weather outside was dry and we at first thought that we had some sort of leak but no...............the secret was to open the windows. It was dried up within a day!Ventilation is crucial, is there any way to put some air vents in your property?Good Luck
Grazie Chris,I'll go with the twig option, it keeps me well out of the way!...........I did ask my wife (who is smaller than me) to get into the housing and try and get it out but for some reason she doesn't seem keen (she NEARLY used a swear word !!)Cheers,S
I was just pottering around near our pool pump (which is in the ground), and as I lifted the lid, there (curled up) was a small-ish viper !! I would assume that, if it had 'stretched' out, it may have been 20cms long, It fell into the pool pump housing and is now located at the bottom of same in an inch or so of muddy water!How do I get it out? Any ideas?Thanks in advance......................S
Well done Charlotte!Like most other people, I for one, like consistency and fairness, this WONDERFUL country should not allow it's ways to be 'blackened' by relatively small and sometimes very localised people who just decide that thay will not obey 'the' rules.They happily fly the EU flag at all schools, town halls and other government buildings (which I think is fantastic by the way!), but I feel that we are here by right and we WANT to help move things forward with our knowledge/expertise (if required) and to utilise our finances (if required) through property, groceries, cars and lots of other purchases. I do recall an Italian friend of mine saying that the Italians loved having 'us' here BUT it has meant that the 'local' builders have put their prices up to a point whereby the Italians that have lived here can longer afford to pay builders charges.Difiicult situation !Good luck,S
Brava Penny!!............Grrrr!!!!! and another GRRRRRRRRR!!!!There MUST be somebody amongst us who has the Italian language skills to draft the letter................come on y'all !!!S
