new arrivals...........

Bonjourno! We are new arrivals having moved to Collesecco (Umbria) last week....... we are loving it so far! Do any of you actually meet up at all for a coffee or glass of wine or do you just blog on this site? We would like to meet some expats socially not sure where to start.......................ideas welcome.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum. We holiday just outside Lago del Trasimeno and are hoping to buy in that area in the not too distant future - although the horizon seems still as far away as ever. Brian

Hi Jane! best wishes for your plans! hope you'll create a real community closer to you!

hi shas no sorry you must be thinking of someone else.

I rather think shas was confused by by your attempt at spelling buongiorno!

Hello, Welcome to the forum. Wish you well in your future plans.

There are a number of Colleseccos (collesecchi?) in Umbria - which is your nearest town?
