A chance for celebration for us, 5 years of living in Italy.
I wish this could be clarified for me, I would love to mention our apartment but that seems a no no, perhaps Valentina could explain what is acceptable?. I have read the notes re what is suitable, and am none the wiser.Â
We have a house and apartment in rural Marche, and would love the opportunity to see more of Italy, but we have 3 cats who are much loved and need looking after whilst we are away. Any members with property in Italy care to do a house swap?

Does anyone know of a computer specialist in the Montegiorgio Marche area who can visit the house and sort out our rubbish connection on what is laughingly called broadband (snailband here), thanksÂ
Can anyone please recommend a chimney sweep in Montegiorgio, Marche area, thanks
We have had our two chickens Gilda and Ruby for 5 wks now, and were becoming dispondant as no eggs in sight, but this morning we have had our first one!, I know I am over-excited about this but just had to share!
 I would just like to recount an excellent story of health care in South Marche for those who are fortunate to come under the region of Fermo (hopefully this will soon apply to our friends in the area of Amandola?) Suffering from blurred vision fo
We are compiling our Christmas book list for Amazon, has anyone got any favourites to recommend, especially ones with an ½ûÂþÌìÌà theme?. Have read most of Donna Leon and Michael Dibden, so something else would be appreciated.A

Our local bar has it, or free internet use if you buy a cup of coffee or a beer.
We have given up on an orto after 6 years of failure and a pointless waste of time and energy....the only things that grow well are tomatoes. But as elliven has pointed out, much more sucessful with the fruit and nut trees and the olives are looking good as well. Ideally it would have been great to have an orto, one of the things we were looking forward to when we moved here after having had allotments in the UK, but climate and soil (however enriched) have been our downfall. Have given the last of the failed lettuce to the eggless chicken (another mistake!) and next year we wont bother......so there!Â
My orto is as ever a dismal failure (apart from the tomatoes) raised beds and improved soil, but nothing thrives, have given the limp lettuce to the eggless chicken (another failure...hasnt laid in years) dont know where we go wrong. On the plus side looks like a bumper crop of olives this year and all the herbs are doing well. So much for the good life.
FromNowOn......I love your post title......! sorry cannot advise on camping sites.
Fantastic!....have left a comment on your site.
Excellent pasta Sprostoni....so you were the tall dark handsome man at the next table!!!!!!?
Great that this has kicked off some good ideas...have just returned from the neighbours with eggs and lettuce, Maxine my cake baking skills are lacking but will buy them shortbread biscuits from the Little British Food Shop in Servigliano, last time I was there italians were in buying bacon! Pamela I loved your post...made me think again about why we live here.Â
Written somewhat tongue in cheek, following on from my post last night re heating.But it did occur to me that members living in Italy might like to share experiences of living here on a budget. Any advice most gratefully received!.
Actually oldand bold, we have 2 combi boilers, one for the house and one for the apartment...which are great in the warm/hot months....today is 30c plus!. However acknowledge that gas is just too expensive, hence wood-burning stove in the house, apartment not let in the colder months.Its all very well to say heat pumps and solar are the only way, but the initial outlay is beyond the means of many, and you work with what you have got. Internal shutters and other methods, much debated on this site b/f work well. Not everyone has shed loads of cash!.
will pm Viking......have to say will never get my vote. But not appropriate to post on an open forum.
