Anyone out there own a winery/cantina in Umbria or know someone who does? I am a uk wine merchant now living in Italy and currently looking for unpaid work to help build my Italian language skills.
What, how?!? Were they bathing in it, sniffing it? Thought we were being mighty frugal, using about a quarter of what we would in the uk and get a bill four times as big - happy days! Well the wine is cheaper, and the council tax, the cakes are good too - local restaurants are good, nice views here, even the cat seems chilled ......mmmmm, guess we'll put up with it.
Frightening, knew utilities were much higher in Italy but........Can stomach 85 euros per month on the electricity, but nearly 400 euros per month on gas - for two people in a small two bed cottage using the central heating for 3 hours av per day, two showers a day and the gas hob! Did not expect that even though it is on country tank gas. We're heading for 6000 euro utility bill for the year in the cottage - might be a record!
