Some people do not seem to suffer the consequences of a world crisis. A Chinese gambling magnate has just paid US$ 330,000 for two white truffles, the largest one from Tuscany and the other one from Molise, at a charity auction.

Hi! My youngest daughter, Natalia, helps as a volunteer in Save a Bunny San Francisco. They have at present more than 80 bunnies in the refuge and little or no money.

Just a reminder that the Iris Gardens in Florence will be open this year between the 24th of April and the 20th of May. A magnificent collection with over 2,500 varieties.

Once upon a time... in the Old, defunct Forum (God bless its soul!), we had a very funny thread on Forum Characters. I found the link that shows those characters and it is still very appropriate for the Community. So here you are....

Winter is almost here and this time of the year is not a favourite season for gardeners.

 I particularly like the king-size bed bit. And the comparison with kids....
 Thanks for the explanation Bill, I will have a look at Facebook.Â
 And if you are travelling with pets, this website is also useful to find places which accept them:
 Hi and a very warm welcome. Tuscany is a wonderful place. I do agree with the others, trains from Florence are excellent and do not miss Lucca. The train station is only 200 m away from the San Pietro gate which takes you through the walls into the most magnificent town you can ever imagine. Magic!
Hi Tinacara and great to see you in the new community. It takes a bit of time to get used to the new format, but you will manage.Â
 Hi Mike and Terry and a very warm welcome. Perhaps you would like to join our "Gardening" group which is open to everyone.
 DEFRA is very helpful if you ask them beforehand what needs to be done. My daughter communicated a lot with them when she was moving her pet rabbit from Singapore to Spain (transit) to finish in the UK and two years later to move him again from the UK to Spain. Email them and ask all the questions you need them to clarify. Then, keep a copy of their answers for future reference.Dogs travel very well by car if you get them used to it and you do regular stops every two hours to give them water and so that they can walk around, etc. Our little dog travels to Italy from Spain twice or three times a year, with an overnight in Antibes and she loves it. The minute she sees her "luggage' being sorted out and organised she gets very excited. Take small treats for the dogs while travelling. They really appreciate that. Good luck!
