Last week I went to check on our house outside falerone:  Ok House is stretching it a bit, lets say "part restored farmhouse".  I was a lttle scared when I heard a noise upstairs.

Hi, I am shocked at the price of our gas from the bomolonne and want to get Italgas in fro all of the apartments.  I wanted to get in touch with Italgas but the number on the site is only for gas escapes and not available from outside Italy.

I had a phone call from Italy yesterday saying that the local TV news was reporting that there are new routes from Falconara.

Hello Sprostoni   Here in Switzerland we have a lot of Storks nesting in the trees behind our house. because we overlook the zoo we have other exotics to watch but the storks are extraordinary:  They make a clacking noise with their beaks as a part of their mating communications. They fly like pteradactyls! Our neighbours can see into the nest but from our place i have not seen babies (storklets) yet

Ok, now you are sitting down aren't you I spent about 10 days down there and my place is quite big with 140m2 with high ceilings but my bill was about 400 Euro.  Now i have 2 daughters so thats a lot of hot water and the rest of the building was empty but i was horrified.   Hence the change to Italgas.... BTW, it's Fabrizio (a bit quicker to type than TIL)

Do you know, i have been coming to le march since i was a baby in the 60's and i saw these for the first time last June (as said by the next poster). I honestly thought that some fool had put LED lights into the bushes up to the house: Magical!

How exciting!  I have never seen one of these alive: we are down in Campofilone so it may be too densely populated for them to feel comfortable.  Man in Marche, where did you see these spiky beasts? I saw two wild boars in Umbria last month, near Umbertide as well as a badger on the same road.  Sadly they were not playing together.  Boars cause huge damage in the fields around the property at Umbertide and we have had to put up electric barriers but they still get in from time to time I find it amazing how the wildlife in Italy has thrived.  20 years ago there were so few birds and now at Campofilone we see Kites, falcons, Montagues' Harrier, Golden Oriel, Nightingale and woodpeckers F

...is usually pretty accurate.  Leaving teh road is academic at the moment if the pass is still closed.   I would plan to go through out of peak times or just bring a thermos of pg tips and relax

Hi Sebastiano and thanks for that update.  Dublin & Stockholm are really good news for me. Is this Ryanair? Fabrizio
