We now have a new addition to the family here, a orphaned leveret. It is only about 8 days old now, but seems to be doing quite well and putting on weight. Feeding it a kitten milk mixture. Anyone else had experience of bringing them up??

Wonder if anyone having the same problems:1. You read a post logged in, then refresh and then it tells you that you have x number of unread posts, even though you have read all.

Because it was raining today, thought to do some price comparisons re non ½ûÂþÌìÌà B&B's to ½ûÂþÌìÌà ones in Marche. I will not name any, but to be honest, you are better staying in ½ûÂþÌìÌà establishments.

Trouble with RAI Flip, is as it's ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ, the commentators can't stop getting excited, plus you get all the adverts. Will stick with the free BBC feeds.

Henna in Sarnano is the one we use for ours, speaks English, as does her partner, although not as well. Will also write prescriptions out in English so you can order online, as cheaper in the UK.

Suggest you get your satellite dish pointed to Eutelsat @28.5E. You will then pick up the BBC red button feeds. Watched all the 6 Nations live this year, plus other sports.

Hunting season from beginning of Sept to Feb/March. "Rats" is just my name for the dogs, as most are handbag size!! Prefer larger breeds. Saying that, we found a English Setter, which had run away from the hunters. Thought initially that it was a puppy, but it was 6 yrs old, underfed, teeth worn from trying to bite through its' wire cage. 19kg when we found him (by the Lake), now 26kg.

Agree that it is probably a grass seed at this time of year. Also watch out for them getting in the ears!!

You will probably be ok around the Lago San Ruffino tracks, but go from the Scheggia/Friano end. There are people who exersize their dogs there, but as long as yours are not aggressive, then there should not be a problem. When the hunting seaon begins though, the hunters "rats" will be free down there and may get a little annoying, although saying that they soon called them back when confronted with a Marremano, so the Ridgeback will help as well!!!

We had a 400 yr old cottage also with oak beams, but they were probably well seasoned, as they did not need replacing for the renovation. Has just gone up for sale again, as presume the person who won it on the Daily Mail competition did not like the insurance costs!!! Anyway, new chestnut beams/flooring do shrink as well as crack. We have found the battiscopia tiles opening from the floor by a few millimetres, which is a real pain to re-grout. If had known that would happen, would not have had them for a few years.
