Hi there Got a bit of field which needs cutting about twice a year. The cost and hassle of getting someone locally to do this means that we are considering getting a 2nd hand quad bike and flail mower and doing it ourselves.

I've just received several emails from andrea@istos.it telling me my membership of several groups on this site has been accepted. Has a mod woken up or am I being spammed/phished/f**ked???

Thanks to whoever it was who recommended this book. A beautiful and elegiac account of old ways of life in the Ligurian mountains. Without being at all sentimental

HI M&C. My most recent experiences at Ciampino are when the flights from Ancona get cancelled and I make a dash southwards. It's as OK as any other Ryanair lair. Don't know about transport into town from there - there will be buses but not sure about trains.You can always visit the Via Appia whilst there - although don't repeat my mistake of taking 14 yr old son and friend for a walk along it and a look round the back of one of the tombs. Favourite haunt of ladies of the night (or in this case, broad daylight) - say no more!If you find you need a hotel close to the airport let me know - I did post about it on the old forum. It's the nearest I could find and there's a half-decent restaruant a short walk away
Sorry - thought that was your name for a minute, ex-geo. Had a lie down now though
I'm a bit of an anorak for books about this era - Italy's experience of WW2 was pretty unique and illustrative of man's courage and folly
That's a tenner in the pot from meBTW - Ken's story can be found here: http://www.iandesouza.de/index.php?kat=64 and I thoroughly recommend the book as one written by someone from the "ranks" who had a real affinity with his Italian helpers. Some of the officer class books I've read don't have quite his humanityOver to you now Alan. PS are you Stig from Top Gear???
OK - you've got till midnight. After that I'm off to Italy and unlikely to be checking in for a few days. Now you'll only have yourselves to blame if I have to give you the ultimate clue and halve my donation. >) I don't want to do it, but if you make me then ...... >) >)[Edit - those were supposed to be evil smileys but don't seem to pictorialise]PS - I agree this is getting confusing - took me a while to find my own posts here. Moxie - can you impose some order on us!?
Great butterfly Lorraine - is it English or Italian? Looks like one on my Italian lavender that I spent all day trying to get a good piccie of
He wrote a book. It happened in the province of Fermo. The book was translated into Italian in 2005.That's 4 clues in all. If you get it without me having to direct you to a website the Appeal gets a tenner. Otherwise it's a fiver. Tough but fair I think ........
here's a bit of a clue: we're talking WWII
It's and old'un but a good'un - but damned if I can remember. Anyway, meanwhile, who hid under a weighbridge to escape? There's a Marche connection and the answer is actually in the old forum (for a fiver)
Oh shoot - I'm cooking supper - can you wait until I have some Google time later???? (smell of burning garlic in background)
