Self-catering at our place Badger!
Afterthought ....they probably went to The Little British Shop in Servigliano for the bacon!.
Guess you are writing tongue in cheek Badger....the B&B got excellent reviews in tripadvisor and the photos look wonderful!....bit of inadvertant promotion on your part!
Lovely things Ugo....good luck with selling, I especially love the elephant!.

The sinks are fantastic.....worth it just for them!.
