Hmm. I'm terribly sorry about this post, partly as it makes me look disorganised and rubbish. Basically, I agreed to help someone move house in the Appignano area, on 26 April. My diary for that day reads: "Appignano removal, Teresa".

My mate Neil is about to drag the van and I up to Obi, in order to puchase a concrete mixer. But he'd much rather buy one second-hand, for obvious reasons.

Buongiorno Are there any members of forum living in the Civitanova/Morrovale/Montelupone/Potenza Picena sector? While I'm very aware that one's social network should be extended primarily into the local community I have a slight dilemma.

Goodness. In an effort to prove to the world that a motoring journalist can change its spots I just started a food writing blog, with a tenuously Italian twist, given current Marchegiana residence.

Hope all's well.

When booking flights via Ryanair, I found that departure from some airports are cheaper than the others. I'm going back to the UK next week and the cheapest flight from Ancona (single/one-way) is about €200 excluding taxes.

FYI, we're doing a run from Marche to UK (passing London, inevitably) around the weekend or 2nd July. Of course this might not work for your schedule, but we'll be going in our massive great van. This is insured for goods in transit (we deal in furniture/antiques and seem to be sliding into the freight business). From the expatriation run down on 15 May, we'll be doing regular UK trips, at least every two months. So ongoing, transport of items large and small will be completely do-able. We charge by volume rather than weight, we pack well and we know how to look after your things. Points of origin or destinations other than Le Marche and London are entirely acceptable. Call UK mobile 07767 887494 to discuss your needs. Salve, Phil and Joy.

If you're in a position to bring the vehicle back to the UK anually to MoT it, then UK registration would be the far saner option. As long as it has said documentation, plus valid insurance, the plod, local or not, have no complaint to make. Some feel also that you're simply less likely to get pulled over in a foreign-registered car. I feel strongly that for cars, the lhd v rhd issue is serious. We're going out in May and doing so in the van we use for antique dealing. But I'll be adding a car to the fleet for my work as a journalist. While I'm happy for the van to be rhd as the driving position is high and I shan't be using it at high speeds, the car is a different prospect. You need lhd to overtake safely if you don't have a passenger as a spotter. What I'm thinking of doing is buying lhd in Germany, registering the car in the UK and then driving it to Italy. We'll be toing and froing, so can MoT it. tax can be done online. From what  research suggests, it wil actually take less time to do the trip to the UK than queue to do the paperwork for an Ital-registered vehicle. I am however, contemplating leaving the vehicles registered to the name and address of a relative in the UK, to further bolster me against any over-zealous local official trying to force one to register the damn thing in Italy. Belt and braces...

Answer to: Help moving

Hi   If it's any help we'll be moving from UK to Le Marche in mid May, meandering down in a huge van and arriving in Marche on June 1st. There'll be free capacity on our van, and I'm sure a reasonable price could be worked out if we can get our schedules together. Sounds like a few hundred quid rather than a few thousand! I'll drop you a PM with a telephone number. Oh, and we're likely to be in Cornwall around the time of your leaving, as we have people there to see.
