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.

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), 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

will pm Viking......have to say will never get my vote. But not appropriate to post on an open forum.

Our commercatista works it out and submits for an extra 20e fee, but probably only of any use if you are paying ½ûÂþÌìÌà tax.

Am I right in thinking Badger hunting season Nov to Feb, inclusive?...... Viking you live near to us but as we have 5 cats the dog walking issue is not a problem, however the hunters are no respectors of land or the rules "governing" safe distances to shoot. It would be a good idea to go to the comune in Montegiorgio and ask when the hunting days are.They vary from comune to comune.

Good source of info is the health food shop in Servigliano....not too far away, and then you can pop into the Servigliano English Library as well (next door) , over a thousand books to choose from, and finally into the Little British Shop to stock up on anything you may be missing from the UK. If you need anymore info do feel free to message me.

Have had a quick google around Angie, and it seems dogs and other animals can be affected by pollens, it is suggested a saline spray up their nose (that should be well received) and a light sponging of the coat to remove dust and pollen residue. But if in doubt a quick trip to the vet is always advisable.

I think Rickardo has a very valid point, re the extended family helping. And it seems a tad unfair to suggest that non-½ûÂþÌìÌà B&Bs are run by money grabbing people. In the end people choose where they want to stay, some English speakers are more comfortable if their hosts speak English, some like Lisa like to have a challenge.

Welcome to Marche......where are you moving to?. There are forum members living here, who I am sure will be happy to share experiences and give advice, and by the time you arrive it may have stopped raining!.
