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

No Jinty I havent got them yet!, but a prize for the first one liner Christmas joke!, perhaps I should start a joke thread as well?. And after naming my chickens after ancient aunties how could I eat them........A

Tradition versus convenience and productivity?. I am used to a half hour lunch break , a quick sandwich and a fag and then back to work. Cannot cope with large amounts of food at that time of day, makes me go to sleep. But from a working in Italy view, our GP says he doesnt even eat lunch, makes him sluggish, and a friend who has a 40min drive to work and works in a govt dept says the 1.5hrs she gets is too short to return home, but not long enough in the summer to go to the beach!, it also extends the working day and she is home just in time to have supper and go to bed, ready for an early start in the morning.Just my view would be that condensing the working day is a good idea, at least then there is time to go home and enjoy the evening.A

Hi Lisa, glad to see you are getting some good results. For me if I wanted to move again I would be looking at village houses, or houses on the edge of villages which have great views, having seen a few they do seem to be a market that has a lot to offer, reasonable price, not isolated, and many also provide some land or a least a garden, and give you the oppotunity to get to know your neighbours and be part of the community, though as Tony is fluent you have big asset already! I know you are very familiar with South Marche, so hope the search continues to go wellAngie

Didnt know it was a "No Smoking" site!,  re Nutella and fags just a joke amongst us more frequent posters, or a joke between friends, Anne will be interested to hear she has changed sex though in the course of this thread!.And I seem to be joining John in going off thread, my apologies.....I think when we joined from the other site we all had to get used to the new format, and now that Ronald is to make navigation more accessable, it will encourage new posters.Gromit also posted a thread on navigation which was helpful, and members are willing to help should one need direction, so I really dont see the problem?A

Thanks Al, have read up on it and it looks like it might work, I wonder if anyone has used it here?, and whats the ½ûÂþÌìÌà name for self binding gravel?Much appreciated.A

Tue, 11/17/2009 - 09:01

Thanks all for the suggestions, I wonder re the gravel and if it would work, we already have a gravel drive and its very crunchy, not sure if a gravel terrace would be too much, as always looking for the most economic solution that is also attractive is difficult, and if I knew how to load pictures I would do so, dont think I am allowed to direct you to our website so you can see what I mean but if anyone wants to pm me, will pass it on.A

Thank you Ronald I much more comfortable with this community and prefer it to the old format with the old problems. I feel much more relaxed here in the company of people who are helpful, and polite, and supportive,and there is still room for humour and debate.A
