May we have another advice? This time regarding primary schools in Le marche. Is it difficult to register, etc and how much to pay? Any recommended key person contacts? Thanks for all your time.
Hi everyone. Hope weather's better wherever you are in Italy. It's chuckin it here oop North. Just wondering if anyone knows of a local clinic who needs an English-speaking nurse.
Greetings to all. Hope you've had a good Christmas and New Year. We're moving to Le Marche in the summer, hoping for a slower pace of life (hurrah!). I thought of posting a message to our fellow Brits now settled in Italy who are having difficulty
Go Belgium, Germany, Austria. France is EXTREMELY heavy on tolls (so much so that I have to charge a supplement to French clients) and the time difference is minimal. Germany's Autobahnen are toll-free, very good indeed and their rest stops are okay. You could also go past Koblenz. Timing this right, make into town and have coffee or beer at the wonderful biergarten where the Rhine and Mosel meet, before heading south. Two advices however - go to the loo before having a coffee in a German motorway stop, as they charge you 0.5 Euros. They then issue you with a 0.5 Euro discount for a coffee. Crazy Churmans, ja? Also, take enough food to get you through Germany. While French and Italian Autogrills are a delight with affordable, fresh and lovely nosh etc, the German version is terrible in this respect. Little Chef quality and prices, all tasting of that curry sauce you get on kebabs in the UK. Take much water too, as it's hot out there at the moment. Once you're in Italy, stop at the first Autogrill you can find, brave the casino of the cassa and muscle at the bar for your panino and coffee. Benvenuto, buon viaggio and buon appetito. E arrivato!

Lycopene is the anti-oxidant component. Yes, hopefully the italian research goes ahead since the USFDA (US food and drug administration) refuted that lycopene prevented prostate cancer. As with anything else, take in moderation.
20% VAT increase according to the new chancellor from January 2011. Scary. Might just have to live in our van, and park it at an allotment or something.

Hi Pauline, How are you? Have you tried contacting language schools in Leeds? I know Spanish schools are quite popular near the university, and I'm guessing there must be an Italian school in the area. Maybe even ask the people running the Spanish schools if they know someone? My Spanish friends write and speak fluent Italian, but they've now dispersed around the globe so sorry if I can't be of any help. Good luck and see you soon... Regards, Joy and Phil
