Just in case you are wondering I asked Ronald if he could keep the BBQ post on the main Le Marche section at the top of the page which he has just done - felt it was getting rather lost down the bottom and soon would have ended up on Page 2 (well

Jesse at 8 months - growing up so fast now. She is never far from her new boyfriend's side and consequently had to have a little operation so we don't have a new generation of Sully's Pups!

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.

Friends of ours found it much cheaper to buy a LHD car in France, take it to the UK first and then when the time came they bought it over to Italy.
You said it A!!!! No we agree. Even Mark who does like salt on his food, very often finds meat far too salty especilly lamb, which is a shame as we hardly ever eat it because it is very expensive. We look forward to a treat every so often,only to find when it arrives, it is very salty. Like Gala says, maybe they are still remembering the days before we had fridges and can't get out of the old habbit. One place we have found recently which doesn't use too much salt, is Trattoria Vittoria in Santa Vittoria in Matenano and it is very cheap too!
We are also looking and asking around and a friend has just very kindly told us about Italsure who cover Uk citizens with cars permently in Italy. Their website is: www.italsure.co.uk. email: insure@italsure.co.uk We have just sent off for a quote so I will let you know as soon as I get it back but I do know car insurance is much more expensive in Italy than in the UK. Hope this helps.
Here's Jessie at 10 months - she has a new hobby - haystack jumping. Rusty's not too impressed though! Can't get the picture thingy to work will try again!
Too right Russ - who's going to suggest it to them? Flop, our adopted dog from L'Aquila still wakes up barking some nights when he feels a tremor, so goodness knows what the people living in the tents feel when another one happens. If it sounds like much of this could have been avoided, then it really is disgusting.
How interesting Anne - thanks for that. Maybe Penny knows who it was that got married on the 8th August ?
Thanks for your comments so far everyone - thought it may be tricky. They are actually from the Netherlands and for now it would be a holiday home. They prefer to try to get a mortgage here in Italy rather than back at home.
Sorry we missed the rugby Andrew - hope you had a good evening and hope to make it to the next one! Spent all afternoon/ evening in or outside Villi's shop in Ascoli. An amazing shop if you need keys cutting/ knives/ beautiful kitchen equipment etc including picnic hampers and old fashioned shaving stuff. The good news is that the key cutting man maganed to eventually get our broken bit of key out of our car ignition after several hours. Thank goodness for that - a new ignition was going to be well over £200! So if anyone gets into a similar situation - go to Villi's in Ascoli. Hopefully see you on the 23rd Andrew!
Hi John and Toni, There is a really useful discussion forum here on Lay My Hat - we exchange tips and links as there are many free listings also, some of which are good and some a total waste of your time filling in all your details! We find Holiday Rentals very good and like Angie, have had people stay this year from Demark, Sweeden, Germany and Holland as well as the UK. As far as advertising in magazines go, I gentrally think that it is very expensive, although your ad would have a longer life than one of the daily papers, which may get thrown away after one day. I will PM you! Good luckSarah and Mark
That will be fun to watch - hope I get my new camera by then! Looking forward to our visit to the library next week - really pleased it is open again. We are always glad of a trip to Lago di Ruffino, one of our favourite places too Angie!
