Yet another incentive from those great people at Osteria del Lago at San Ruffino.They have opened a small English library, novels non fiction and some reference books.The idea is that the novels can be swapped or that you can add to their numbers

 As with many things it seems to vary so much between comunes, ours are good for a village of 800 people they employ 7 workers, who do a good job in clearing and maintaining roads, and also with snow forecast clearing that from our white road as well.

But my view for what its worth is that whilst Amanda did not have the intent to murder, things got out of hand and she was involved and took part in the death of Meredith.As to whether the conviction is sound, I would need to be judge and jury on that and do not have the information or the legal expertise to inform me. But dont feel it was a facesaving conviction.A
