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

One of the main topics at the G8 summit held in L'Aquila this week will be the environment and climate change and a drive to reduce carbon emissions. Mr B might be well advised to look closer to home on this subject.

I am as confused as the rest of you, and have spent the last 20mins re reading posts, and trying to understand whats going on, had asked Sal to hold on re her announcements on this community, but was ticked off for that!. Moxie & Sarah, will talk later when I have thought about it. Dont think it is viable to hold 2 raffles at once at the BBQ and it propbably isnt what we envisaged anyway, perhaps it would be better for Sal to conduct her own raffle as I think it detracts from what we are doing, and is silly to have 2 going at once on this community, tho I fear that may become the case, what a nuisance.Ax
As an aside but excuse me, I would never never say toilet, loo or lavatory perhaps but toilet never. mis quoted yet again!A
Andrew hasnt met Mark yet...good funA
Hi MI am round for supper , Sarah will bring the trifle, the guys are out here now, a surprise trip!, good for you. The meal was fun, R and I got lost on the way, after being very firm on people being on time...did they laugh.Will email.Ax
Well as you post I have 2 paintings to add to the list from a Dutch friend Aat we went to his exhibition a few weeks ago, were amazed at the paintings in oils which we could not afford so a very generous donation.Also 2 nights in another friends house in Montefalcone, with beautiful views and a pool, if I win I would love to go there, a very special large house with a fantastic Art collection and resident artist, who also cooks...but thats extra, raffle tickets please! And what a great gift to give to family or friends.A
Hurrah I have 4 more to add lets call them Americans x4, we seem to be doing really well this afternoon, keep em coming!A
You think you are confused Andrew, I thought I would have a nice sit down with a relaxing cup of tea and then you start talking about "A" level maths!I have x2 more to add A&J.A
Thanks Gala as ever I agree with you, this is much more refreshing, and I am working my way around it. have already met in real life some great people through the community, who are a huge asset to the fund raising we have been doing, full of information and excellent advice and positive ideas.And as in the old forum retain the idea of support for members.A
Excellent advice garda,A
By ferry, to see Venice from the lagoon for the first time is magic, try google for ferry numbers or I am sure someone can provide links, enjoy your honeymoon, try to wander away from the tourist hotspots, everywhere is walkable, and its fun to get lost in all the twisting alleyways. We spent a week there a few years ago, go and see the lions at the Arsenale, buy a street map and explore.A
