 Hi Samantha and welcome! It is great to see how well you have managed. Best wishes regarding all your plans.

Wow that does sound exciting!  I too am from the north west but only visited Rome for the first time for a few days last month, you can see my trip report somewhere in the Rome section... you can tell me what I really should have seen that I didn't...welcome, look forward to hearing more about Roma which seemed to be hotting up, as well as getting a tad crowded, when we left on 24th May...

Thanks for the notes of welcome.  It is strange but I am really craving fish and chips, with mushy peas and a bread bun this evening.  Maybe with a dandelion and burdock and an episode of Coronation Street.  Try explaining that to the locals!  

I found it pretty hard to find too, this new format is disappointing to find geographical areas.The link is:  http://www.italymag.co.uk/community/post/rome-0

Samantha that sounds an adventure and a half, well done on such a bold move. Im going to have to check your blog now.
